Hi,
So for my kids car,,,the aubergine one, what are the best all around street tires, there will be zero autocross, and no track, purely street. Year round. I put the Yokohamas on my car...way to slippery when cold, so those are out for him... I am looking for a decent year round tire, mud and snow...snow is key.. Good tread wear rating...not to much money...like 80-90 a piece... Prefer V rated tires. Rich |

Aaron, take no offense to the next statement,I always appreciate your opinion,,, but cold in the Northeast and Cold in CA are two different things... I just went and checked my car I went with the reccomended Yokohama AVS ES100 205/50/15 tires on my car..which has a very stiff suspension.. They absolutely SUCK in the cold or wet. They are frightfully slippery in the morning...Once I have driven 10 minutes, the tire is great..but before that, they SUCK... And snow, forget it...the hoosiers are about the same in the snow...seriously I could not get out of my own way this past winter... BF Goodrich tires are like 150 each...to much.. Rich |
