What are you running?

Thankfully I went with WinterSport M3s which have decent grip in the 60-70 degree weather we've been having. I don't push the car in those temps, but when it's in the 50s or lower I can push like hell through any corner and they grip pretty well and have a very predictable breaking point. I would imagine Blizzaks or similar would absolutely suck in this weather.

The car will be on Pilot Super Sports tomorrow, though. Time to get back to some real fun.

I'm debating on getting a set of ther Bridgestone RE760's or the Michelin Pilot Sport AS'. Does anyone have any experience with these two 'high performance' all season tires? Since moving to PA can't really justify getting a set of PSS' even though I loooooooove them.

If you plan on tires that will work in snow those are both poor choices. You need a true snow tire, especially in PA, to make it through winter.

Well what is the point of the all season then? It's going to get you just as dead as a summer tire in the snow.

The only AS tire worth a damn in snow is the Continental DWS.

All season is equally as comparable in all seasons more-so than an UHP Summer only tire. Atleast, thats what they want you to believe. Honestly I want to run PSS' all the time and say eff you rain/snow. Buuuut, well can't do that apparently.


Snow tire, not interested. I would discuss the Conti DW's but with the way they are, if I were going to get them, I'd just get the PSS' cause they're practically the same thing.

DWS not DW. DWS is the all-season. DW is the summer version.

Why aren't you interested in snows? Get a cheap set of wheels from Tire Rack and put winter tires on them. Run those wheels from December to March and run your pretty wheels with your PSS for the better part of the year. That's what most of us that DD our cars do.

It's really the best option. All-season you are just giving up dry weather grip so you can have crappy performance in snow/cold weather. Why not have GREAT dry grip and GREAT snow/cold performance?

Then why do I see Conti DW's and DWS' listed on tirerack? Conti confuses me... which is why I stay Michelin.

Because I don't have the $$ to buy wheels, I have to buy what I need and tires come before wheels, even if they are a set of cheap winter wheels...

If it were up to me I'd run PSS' year round because they are amazing. But I have to be realistic...

And if it's snowing, I'm not taking a rear wheel drive car with anything other than cleats.

If you are not going to drive in/on snow then just keep the PSS.
