EvilCamaroSS Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I don't care if there 225 or 215 45 17 I just want a tire that will handle Excellent in dry conditions, handle very good in wet conditions and handle decent in snow. whats the opinion on this? I need a tire like this because i live in the mountains and i drive alot of windy roads every day to get to and from college, on a couple occasions the stockers have slid out on me. thanks in advance!

rjundi Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Lots of posts here. I am beyond happy with my Bridgestone RE960's on my Subaru WRX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FocuS Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I have 225/45/17 Conti Extreme Contacts on my winter wheels. They handle rain really well and are actually rated for snow which is kinda nice in an AS...plus, they're pretty cheap @ Tirerack.com $98 each... My .02...

atc5 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I agree that the bridgestone super sports and contiextremes are both decent all seasons. The conti's ride a bit softer than the super sports and I actually prefer the softer feel for winter driving. I use RE070's for summer and those are stiff as bricks.

I started with these, and they were too loud for me on dry pavement. I went with the Goodyear Eagle Response Edge. Very happy. VERY good traction in the wet, and good in the snow as well.

DrCloud Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I've been quite happy with the Goodyear Eagle F1 All-Seasons (225s) I replaced my OEM tires with. No snow experience, of course, but plenty of wet, wet, wet situations, with no issues at all. They're not as sticky as the Eagle F1 GS-D3 summer tires, but they're the best all-seasons I've had (with lots of high-end tire experience).

mwiener2 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Yoko Advan S.4 BEST dry grip all season I could find and I love em. They do very well in wet as well, but they're not so great in snow. They'll get you out of a jam, but I only use them as a 3 season.

NutBucket Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I second the S.4. Haven't tried them in snow yet but I'm sure we will b4 winter is over (they're on my gf's WRX). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyDog Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Recently, I've run Dunlop SP Wintersport M3 in the winter and Kumho Ecsta SPT in the summer. Changed last month over to Continental contiextremecontact (gay name) due to geometry issues with changing suspensions. Taken it out in some ice and snow lately and response seems to be just as good as the dunlops. Starts, turns and stopping ability are equivalent if not better. I thought I would lose a bit with the all-seasons, but overall I'm pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
