Wheels and tires....on the fence about what to do...
Don't want to keep 3 sets....Should I
A) Keep my 18" Oettinger RE with summer tires and sell my stock AVUS with Sumitomo HTR+ UHP Allseasons and keep my winter 16" TT rep dunlop m2 setup or
B) Sell the Oettinger 18"summer setup, and keep the stock with all seasons as summer option and keep the winter 16" m2 setup
C) Keep the oettinger's, sell the winter's and use the stock with all seasons as my winter tires.
keep in mind i live in the northeast/new england. all tires have at least one season left on them and the sumi's are basically brand new..though i have to replace one due to tire damage.

I would never use all seasons as summer tires. I'd keep your 18"s with summer rubber.......
for optimal summer performance.
Then, have some set-up for winter. I wouldn't run 16"s in the winter just because there are so many awesome 17" snow tires available now. The few days you really need the snows, your all seasons should do fine. The main reason I see to run winter rubber is the cold weather performance more than the snow performance.
I'd wear out your all seasons, then put some Blizzaks or Wintersports on the stock rims.

A without a doubt. Tires specialized for a particlar season are worlds better than all seasons
summers are much better in dry and rain particularly, and I can't tell you how much better snow tires such as the wintersports or lm22's are in the frost
