Just wondering what's everyone is using for all season tires, what are some of the better choices for 195/65-15?

 

Personally, I have Michellin XGT H4 on two of my wheels (and the stock Michellins on the other two). I've heard good things about the Dunlop SP Sport A2, and liked the Bridgestone Potenzas I had on my last car.

Here are a few that will give you some ideas:

thanks, currently on stock michelins - they do o.k. overall, it snows around here so any performance type compound is out of the question, but michelins are too much, want something for much less than $119.

 

Ah, you must have the Michelin MXV4 Plus. My two stock tires are those.

I've slid on snow and ice once too often on those tires (MXV4 Plus), I don't recommend them in colder climates. I'm not saying to run out and change them if you have them, but if buying tires, look at something else.

Do you have a Sam's Club near you? Sam's sells a tire called the Michellin X Radial Plus, this tire is identical to the Michellin Pilot XGT (I think that's the one). Exact same tire, different name on the side so that Sam's can tell if they sold the tire or not. Sam's told me that, and I called Michellin to confirm it. Anyway, the Michellin X Radial Plus is what I have on two of my tires, those cost ~ $105 for everything, including mounting, stems, old tire disposal, lifetime rotation , road hazard warranty, etc. I had gotton a nail in a sidewall of one of my original tires, I replaced two at that time which is why I have two stock tires and two newer tires.

 

Kumho Ecstats 712, they run really well with water (I've barely ever hydroplaned in them, and around here, that is a feat!)....and they have great snow traction as well in my experience, of course, that's with NC snow, which never gets to be more than a lot of ice and about 1" of actual snow.

 

get the dunlop sport a2 i got them on my ride and trust me they grip on corners and they work amazing in the snow...stayed with type r in turns and have no problems zipping by people in the snow or rain...you wont be disappointed

umm kumho 712s are a high performance summer tire and don't carry a M+S rating, which means DO NOT USE THESE IN THE SNOW!!

 

dude i live up in toronto and as you might know our winters are no joke...ive driven in blizzards on my A2's and it aint no thang...our summers get really humid and hot and the A2's again do the job, more than i ever expected

 

Toyo T1S's great tires for the summer but in the rain they suck........
