Alternative tires

buylongterm · 07-23-2014, 01:40 PM

I need to replace my tires on my car. Since I live in Chicago, I am looking for a good all seasonal performance tire. The OEM tires on my car are obviously horrific in snow. I would sacrifice top end/dry pavement performance for a decent tire that will drive in the snow.

Much appreciated,

Personally my 2 favorites are the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 and Continental DWS tires

Thank you. I'll take a look at them on Tire Rack.

I have been running Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS's for around 40k miles and they have been great. Probably have one more winter in them and will need to replace. I have heard good things about the Conti DWS's as well.

Boy, it's a tough call. The Contiental DWS gets decent ratings/surveys for snow and that is my main concern.
