Default Sold mine for $600 at ~ 800 miles, and bought Eagle F1 A/S
didn't try very hard to sell, though.

Better in the rain than summers because of all the sipes. They're good for Oregon and so is my RS4.

Don't. Please don't. Just say no to no-seasons.

they're good for creating smoke-signals if you break down in the middle of nowhere.

Default Thanks Bob - at least a honest answer - instead of the moral jabs of putting all- seasons on
seams people don't value road noise, tire wear, and wet performance anymore.

Default Given our colorado winter weather, I prefer to have dedicated winter tires ...
I have Dunlop M3's (oem size) mounted on my titanium rims. I keep my Contis on the original oem rims.

Colorado winters along the front range are generally fairly mild which is why I stuck to the oem size for better handling in good conditions - seems to work pretty well.

Default I have snows (3Ds on OEMs) but tread wear - noise - are more important than ultimate
traction in the dry
