all season tires?

im looking for some all season tires since we get everything in jersey and have it narrowed down to these few:

Bridgestone RE960
Kumho Ecsta ASX
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S+
Yokohama Advan S4
Goodyear Eagle F1 AS
Toyo Proxes 4

does the tire size affect what tire i should choose? my current rim is a 18" with a +35 offset, so according to the faq i should be looking at a 255/35/18. or are these all good choices?

bridgestone 960AS and advan s.4 are the best ultra high performance all seasons. I personally picked the advans cause bridgestone didn't have my size. tirerack has good reviews and comparisons.

btw. 255/35-18 is best choice for 9-9.5 wide wheel (that's what I have) and the don't make the bstones in that size.

It's not on your list but I would buy the new Goodyear Eagle GT. I had a set of Kuhmo ASXs on my 03 Evo for 20k miles and the GTs are much nicer in handling and road noise.

Our top performer right now is the B-Stone 960. Great tire across the board. Everyone I've sold those to has been really happy. Also good reports on the Goodyear, but they tend to get noisy after a few thousand miles.

Size is a bit wide for the oe wheels. Some have squeezed them on but not sure what issues that may or may not have caused.

I know 2 evo owners running RE960, I drove their evo too, I like the tires a lot, tread last a long time

you didn't specify how wide is your rim to determine the width of tire, if you have 9" rim then 255/35 is good size for you

I'm running the michelin Pilot sport a/s+.. I am very happy with them, they are my 3rd set of tires, and will replace them w/ the same after.
almost as sticky as the advan's with good wear characteristics, and good wet weather performance

i just put on some Michelin PS A/S+ and so far so good. dry traction is great, and cornering is just fine. ran them in light rain and had no problems. i have 265/35/18 all the way around btw

A tire not on your list is the BFG g-Force SS A/S. On the TireRack test for that car, the Bridgestone edged the BFG on wet testing, but the BFG easily took dry tests. In fact it's slalom times and lap times are better than the Yokohama Advan Sport summer tire. I have them on my X and am very happy with them.
