Other brands are mentionable if there is a specific tire that is really great. You may have seen my Summer tire? thread, but I have changed my mind to get all seasons and just sell the blizzaks that are on my car right now. They have nearly 0 tread wear so they should me easy to sell. Anyway, I need an all season tire that basically for soccer moms, lol. Comfort and tread wear are the main things I am looking for.

 

I do not like Goodyears - very hard tire - and strange wear tendencies..

Dunlop SP Sport A2

or

Bridgestone Potenza RE92

 

i'd imagine it'd be difficult to sell blizzaks in the middle of july...
but as for all seasons, i have falken ziex ze-512's and i'm really happy with them. they're waaaay stickier than the stock firestones i had, and the wear is pretty good.

I don't use all-seasons so I won't comment, but I can give you 2 tips:

- never take tire advice from anyone located in California, when you live in MN
- you'll regret getting rid of snow tires for all-seasons, come winter time

 

It costs 60 to change tires, so that means 60+cost of summer tires, wait 4 months, 60 more to get winter ones on, then 5 months w/ winters and then 60 more for summer. I am trying to save money like any other guy, so I figured that one change (to all seasons) would be more effecient.

 

When you try to be all things to everyone, you end up being nothing to no one.

Spend the extra $$$. Get yourself some snow tires. You will not ever regret it.

 

get your summer rims and keep the sticky rubber on there. and go to tirerack.com and get a set of blizzacks mounted on steelies for under 400. and the blizzacks will last you 4 or more winters easily. ive had mine for 3 years now and they still got good tread.

 

I have blizzaks on there right now, my plan right now is to find a comfert based summer or all season tire (if there are no summer tires to my likeing) and put on my blizzaks in the winter.

 

I checked out the comfort tread on tirerack's site, they were only 280 shipped for 4. At the goodyear dealer, they quoted 370 installed, they said it cost about 60$ to be installed, so 350 online, saving about 20 buying online. These comfort treads are close to what I am looking for, I may just get them. A few Reviews said they have slightly numb steering feel, but the noise and comfort are amazing. so said the handling was fine, so I don't know. any other suggestions?
