Default What tires are good for all season?

Hey, I need some opinions on what kind of tires I should get for my new rims on my 2000 Civic. I looking for some nice all-season tires, preferably in a 205/45/16 size. Anyone have any opinions on what's good? Thanks.

My Toyo Spectrums have been through it all. 70k later and still good to go.

I really like my Bridgestone Potenza RE730's. I am not sure what sizes they come in 16's though.

Yokohama Avid H4s are not bad. I've got a set now. However my next set will either be a set of Falken Azenis or Bridgestone S-03

Dunlop Sport A2's. Awesome in the snow and rain, and not half bad when its dry. Oh yea, they can be had for $70 or less.

if you get alot of snow or icy conditions. get some winter tires trust me its worth the safety of your passengers and yourself.
And for any other weather run some all seasons, this way less likely to damage the wheels and less wear and tear on them.

i personally have been running 'old school Michelin XM+S 100 tires they are discontinued in US but not in Europe or Japan....

there are many different choices these days. Blizzaks are excelelnt but wear out very quickly and after few weeks you start driving on all seasons (as its got layerd desgin of many different compounds)


here are few tests:

check the manufacturers pages as well.

I would recommend Kumho 712's series. However not the best on snow, great for everything else!
