need new tires ... questions
I have the 1998 sport pkg 16" rims on my A4. I would love new rims but cant afford them at this time.
My SP8000s have lasted 38,000 miles. They are getting really close to the "knubbies".
What would be a good all season tire recommendation? I am not a tire guy so I am asking.
Driving conditions: I live in Dayton OH. Dry most of the time. Snow about 1 week out of the year. Moderate amount of rain.
I am thinking of just getting a new set of 8000's since they were nice but just wondering if there is something a bit more sport oriented. I dont like to slow down for turns.
Thanks for any advice.
BTW, Eddie@tirerack, you will be hearing from me soon. :-)

Ditto,
How you get that life from those tires, I'll never know. The Yokahama sports are a little more money and a bit better, same as the BFG KDW's (even longer wearing and stiffer carcass). There is a big jump in performance for 50 bucks more a tire. You can't beat the performance value of those three tires. There are a number of mediocre tires that are cheaper, but not anywhere near the same quality.
