I've read the tire reviews on Tire Rack and can't decide what to buy. I think these OEM tires handle and grip very well but am not crazy about the quick wear (22K). I thought they were a great tire. (They didn't rank at the top on Tire Rack, however). I think I'd like similar handling in an all season because the Contis are terrible in snow, and checked out the Michelin and Pirelli (had 1 bad experience with Pirellis on a 3 series). Please assist in this decision-making.

Are these Conti's a "Summer" tire? That would explain the horrible handling in the snow. Some popular All Season tires from members of this and other boards:


Performance:

Pirelli P Zero M&S
Pilot PS2 (make sure all season)

Snow performance:

Cont. ContiExtreme Contact (I personally have these and think they are great)

Budget:

Sumitomo HTR+ (Had these on my previous A4, surprisingly good performance for price.

I prefer the Michelin Pilot Sport's. FYI...low profile tires aren't going to last you 40k miles...less tread than a higher profile tire...
