All Season Tires

I am looking for a all-season tire that wont give up much dry performance over the stock A046s, performs in wet and light snow conditions, and has better treadwear than the stockers. Right now, my choices in order of most favorite are:
1. Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season
2. Pirelli PZero Nero M&S
3. Kumho Ecsta ASX.

please vote and rate with your personal experiences using the following criteria:

Brand - Model - Size:
Dry Traction: (1-10)
Dry Cornering Stability: (1-10)
Wet Traction: (1-10)
Wet Cornering Stability: (1-10)
Snow Traction: (1-10)
Tread Life: (% of tread left & miles driven)

Believe it or not, I have the Maxxis tires on my evo as a daily driver and I must say that the traction is good, the treadwear is great, haven't seen snow yet but I am satisfied with the tire. and the price was great too- bought a set of 4 for the price of 1 yoko

5000 miles 98% tread left stock size

Conti extreme contacts. Good for all around dry, wet snow. And they come with road hazard.

Did you know you can get this exact type of information from TireRack.com?

Goodyear : Average of 7.46
Kuhmo: Average of 6.61
Pirelli: Average of 7.47

I personally like Pirelli, but that's neither here nor there.

I'm going for the new BFGoodrich g force A/S. Their most technically advanced tire,
to date.

I have read all the reviews there and on discount tires, but there are virtually no review for the Eagles, and I wanted opinions from the Evo enthusiast community. Also, many of the reviews from Evo owners are from people who have less than 5k miles on their new tires, which tells me nothing of how accurate the tread wear ratings are.

I've ran the kuhmo asx with good results in northeast ohio, i have ran the hancook icebears too, labled a high performance snow tire but it feels and looks like a all season performance, snow is easily handled and rain or slush was good as well.

I have the Kumho ASX's right now and they are OK. I used the Toyo Proxes 4 on my 240sx (came from Kumho 712's) and they handled better than the 712's and were very stable in rain. I have no experience with snow since this was mainly in GA, but im now in Reno, NV and will have to see how the ASX's do.

I have the Bridgestone RE 960AS and they're awesome. It has good traction in both rain and snow. Just a little pricey, but how can you put a price on your safety.

I run 265/35 PZero Nero M+S on my Evo... they're absolutely awesome. They wear great, are quiet, and grip awesome in all kinds of weather. Took the Evo up to northern Ontario during the holidays, and was ripping it up in the snow... I would buy this tire again without hesitation.


The only other tire I would recommend (and possibly one that is better than the PZero) is the Conti ExtremeContact. I ran these tires back in the day on my 350z, my fiancee has them on her Tiburon, and they are excellent in all conditions as well. They wear longer than the PZeros, and are slightly less expensive. I chose the PZeros for my Evo because the Conti's did not come in a 265/35... but I am very happy with the PZeros as well.

Good luck!
