Default allroad tires

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on good replacement tires. I've had pirelli p6 allroads and they didn't last long. I have a 2005 allroad 2.7T. Any help would be appreciated.

tyres are very difficult to give advice on, many factors can come into play. My advice for starters would be to check out Tire Rack - then search tires by size. Decide on a price range, your region (a lot of sun vs. a lot of wet - harshness of winter/summer) pick a few models then ask again

as for me I run a 17" Nokian Hakk. in the winter - a 18" GY GS-D3 in the summer and a 17" Falken 512 during the spring and fall.

Depending on what you want to spend... I put on Falken ZE 912's on my 05, 4.2. Only about $126 a tire.
I've been really happy with them overall. In the snow, however, not so good.

I'd prefer all season. I live in New England and would prefer not to have to switch tires.

I put on Yokohama W. Drives as recommended here last fall. They replaced Goodyear triple treads that wore off prematurely. The W. drives got good reviews and they were good in the snow my only concern is how long will they last in the summer heat. I like the fact they are winter tires rated with the snow flake on them as Ontario may follow suit after Quebec made snow tires mendatory last year. I also don't really have space to keep separate sets for winter/summer. Hope this helps.

The Falken ZE 912's actually are an all-season rated tire. Just my opinion about their performance in the snow.

FALKEN ziex 512 tirea are far batter in the snow than the 912. I've had 4 sets and get about 30K out of them.

I like your wheels. The allroad I just purchased looks just like yours except it has the double spoke wheels. I'd like to change my wheels to something like yours. Where did you get them and if you don't mind sharing, how much did you pay for them?
