All-Season Tire Recommendations?
 
I'm planning to replace the stock Pirelli P6000's with all-season performance tires since the tread on the Pirellis is wearing down.

Does anyone have any good suggestions?

Sumitomo HTR+, I'm running them now, they're cheap and seem pretty good. If you've got money to
 
spend, the Michelin Pilot A/S is tops in this category, but $$$.

I second that! Have them on the BMW because they are quiet but damn they are some nice tires.
 
When my toyos die on the S4 will most likely get those.

Pilot A/S. Look at Michelin's site and it will show comprable performance to the standard Pilot sport, while still having excellent rain and snow characteristics. Mine have lasted 46k, been tracked, etc. Excellent tires.

Pirelli PZeron Nero ... available in an M+S version. $125 @ tire rack I believe
 
I've got them on my car right now (accidently). I wanted the regular summer tires, but accidently got the M+S ones.

So I'm driving around on them until the normal ones arrive.

For an all season tire... I have to say... I'm impressed.

It's no summer tire that's for sure (my bald S03's handled circles around the M+S Neros). But that said... they rock the snot out of my old Dunlop SP5000's.

At first they felt _VERY_ floaty, but that said,after about 300 miles, they're settling in pretty well.

They let go a bit earlier than I like on dry pavement (in 110F heat), but hey.. .they ARE all seasons after all :)

Still very impressive grip none the less (As evidenced under hard braking..... ABS doesn't kick in very often)


Nice and quiet ride.... the only real complaint is turn in response... but that's probably because the tire is new and an all season. But that's shapping up well as the tire wears on. My SP5000's suffered the same thing at first.
