All-season tire recommendations
It's that time again, time to get new tires. I'm looking for all-season tires with decent rain and snow grip - more for safety than high-speed performance - but also decent dry performance.
Any suggestions?
In the past I've had these tires on various cars:
- Dunlop SP Sport A2 - on A4B5 - very good dry performance, not that much fun though.
- Pirelli P6 - factory installed on the A4B6 - I'm quite satisfied with them, but they've worn out after 40k; most of my other tires have worn out around 60k.
- B/F Goodrich Control T/A - decent all-around but not great dry performance

Might want to look at the comparo on tirerack.com
I think they do a really good job of rating tires. You can take all those tires and others and compare them side-by-side. Look at performance, snow capability, wet traction, dry traction, etc...
You also may want to consider posting on tire forum too.

I just purchased the Kumho Ecsta ASX...
They're a lot quieter than the Pirelli P-Zero's, and yes, even when I first picked up my car new, they were noisy.
The handling seems a little worse than before, but it's not like I take corners at 80 mph.
and the two best features of the tire are they are a lot cheaper than others, and they have a 30,000 mile guarantee.
