Member need help on tires Almost ASAP

TahoeOG · 11-03-2007, 12:28 PM

Ok guys well it's october and i feel the winter comming here in New Jersey. Last winter was not good at all driving with the summer sport tires on my e92. Well this year i'm going to be prepared.

I have decided to buy tires NOW. As in today or this week or next weekend. But i've been searching around and reading the threads about winter tires and all weather and TPMS and i need some advice... here is thoughts:

1)I wanted to buy All Weather tires because I wanted to use my stock rims, and i don't want to have to change the tires AND rims next summer. My main concern is, even though we don't get a lot of snowing days, when it comes down, it does come down. But the city does a ok job at clearing most of the snow from the Streets.

2)Buying Winter tires. Great to all winter, and then making a big purchase for next summer with summer tires and rims. I'll be spending more money but have 2 sets for year around.

I was wondering what are a good set of all weather tires that are good enough for me to just get and it should be good for my winter summer, and rain?. I really don't want to change my sport rims. I am putting my money towards something else (NOT M3, actually saving).

Please help me. I looked into the Goodyear F1 All weather, Looked into Pirelli's and Toyo Proxy4 i think. As for winter i heard nothing but good about blizzak and dunlops i think it's called. But some called that those tires are to extreme for the short winter and snow.. In my case it will snow abut 5 total times all winter here, but it will take time to clear.

Please help me find a GOOD set, and if they sell around here like Sears, or something i would like to know to buy it now. It's saturday and i get out of work at 3:00pm.

Thank you.

here are the tires i chose (Yok ADVAN S4's), they're perfect all-seasons with the best snow and dry tractions for the sport package staggarded set of rims.

and to compare it to the other competetors

the only thing that beats it are the pole positions but those dont come in both sizes we need

AND hahah, to compare it to our RFT, it beats it in every catagory and its an all-season! and the Yok's are cheaper LOL

Thank you for giving me the sites to see the comparison, and also my stock sport tires rating comparing to them..> I will hear other options but most likely buy the once you recommended today when i get home. COOL!... Now i finally will have my all weather tires!
