LF>All Season Tire Recommendation

akumetsu · 11-19-2009, 08:58 PM

Hello! I have style 162 rims with 225/40/R18 front and 255/35/R18 rear original RFT. I'm planning to replace these with all season non-RFT. Can someone recommend a good set of all season tires from tirerack.com?

Thanks

Try Continental ExtremeContact DWS. I just got some installed. Great grip in the wet and dry. But if you are replacing your OEM run flat performance tires, be ready to loose some warm weather grip. All seasons will never be as good.

Also check out tire rack's latest review of the tire in snow. They are noticeably better than other All-Seaons. (Assuming you are going to run without Winter tires) I think this is an important attribute for Vancouver as many choose not to have a dedicated set of tires for winter.

I'm currently running the DWS and absolutely love them. See my review here: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...&highlight=DWS

I used to have the pirelli Pzero Nero AS's, and LOVED them. They were cheap and fantastic.

I actually had the Pirelli's on my e65 prior to putting on a set of Hankooks. Solid tires but, IMO, the DWSs are better in my experience.

The Pirelli PZero AS were recently improved too. So expect some increase in performance. I have no experience with them however.
