Need a good all season
Well its that time....11k miles
Looking for some good all seasons(live in PA) that will enable me to throw the car around like the stock advans, but will be a hella lot better in light snow.
So far im looking at
Michelin pilot sport
kumho ecsta
pirelli pzero nero
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I had the Yokohama Advan S4 on my Scion. Very good, predictable, stable, road handling ability. Pretty decent in the rain and wet conditions. Good in light light snow, okay in deeper snow when new. Once the tire was down to 3-4/32's it was pretty terrible in the snow, but this was when the snow was about 6 inches and keep down pouring.

Best all season in snow hands down is the Continental Extreme contacts. Got me through some crazy snow storms in my old RWD Lexus which was normally a handful. Wear like iron and not horribly expensive.

My Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position A/S tires worked flawlessly this past Winter...and they come with a 40,000 mile warranty to boot.

I would go with guru ... as a matter of fact I did about 12 months ago .. I wore out my advans in about 12k miles... my car has about 25k on it now .. so about 13k miles on the Contential extreme contacts. they are not sport tires by any stretch.. but they made it through a bad chicago winter this year. Right now they seem to be at about 85% tread life. So with civil driving i think these tires could go 40k. I would give em thumbs up all the way

They seem pretty highly ranked and pretty cheap overall compared to Pirelli.

I have avids on mine and they are really good in the snow and amazing in the rain, no slippage and good traction especially for New England weather when it can be hott as hell one second and cold the next. Def recommend them. Not pricey either.

This. When I lived in NY the Conti Extreme Contacts were some of the better all seasons I drove on. Once I adjusted the tire pressures, I was very happy.

Continuation on this topic of tire recomendations...
What would the recomendations be for a set of all seasons with the following in mind:
1) VA winters have rain and light snow but don't really need heavy winter traction like in Northern states, would not be driven on really bad days
--- wet grip is probably the most important
2) best dry grip possible with #1 above being satisifed... don't have the money for a second set of summer/winter rims and tires
