Default Falken Ziex Ze-512

Great tire, great price. Everyone who's put them on loves them.

But isn't the 512 a Summer not an AS?

Default nope... they're AS...

Which is to say that they're compromised performance tires and compromised winter tires and compromised rain tires...

But I bought 'em and love 'em as all around tires.....

Cause tha allroad is a compromised performance car, a compromised off-roader, a compromised town car and a compromised grand tourer.

But I bought it and love it, too...

Default Is Goodyear still handling their design work in the US?

I know they broke off their financial relationship with Firestone some years back and Sumitomo took full control, but I thought I heard they entered a partnership with Goodyear for development of their US tires.

Default My choice -- best all around tire for ar: 245/45 - 17 Dunlop WS M3

I know its a snow tire. Drives great/great ride/great grip/ in all conditions for your all road.
