Best All-Season Tires for 2019 SS - Page 3

MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4S ALL SEASONS, MINE ARE RUN FLATS BUT NOT REQUIRED, THEY CAME WITH MY CAR WHEN I BOUGHT IT USED.

There are always trade-offs.

The reputed hard ride of run flats vs being stranded when the tire damage is beyond repair with a bottle of goop.

I had an experience on the New York Thruway worth mentioning. My battery died at a gas station there. Calling AAA, I was told they didn't cover the Thruway because there was a tow company with an exclusive contract. And they gave me the number.

But and but...there was no answer...so I was stuck with wife and daughter at 10:00 pm on the thruway on a cold night. Then I remembered a Car Talk episode which gave the counter-intuitive advice to turn on the headlights, count to 60, and try again. Sure enough, I got the car started and made it to the hotel in Ithaca. I was able to repeat the same Click and Clack magic in the morning and got the car to a garage that replaced the battery.

Moral of the story: don't look down your nose at run flats or claim that AAA will come to your rescue no matter what.

Are Pilot Sport 4S really all seasons? I thought they were summer tires that did really well in the rain.

They are NOT all-seasons. They ARE summer tires that do really well in the rain. Please re-read the posts about them above.

An all-season variant of this tire now also exists, although one might argue that they are a variant of the PS4, not the PS4S. And, both also have runflat variants as well. Too many S's and a ton of choices, heh.

The original PS4S, as Matt stated, is a summer tire with excellent water evacuation ability.

I have the Conti DWS06+ on my ZL1 in stock sizes (285/30/20 and 305/30/20) - they're really good tires. A huge improvement over any summer tire for cool and cold temps. In warm weather they are still better until the summer tires come up to temp. I had the Michelin A/S 3 on my former Mustang GT, and they were also good, seemed similar to the DWS06+.

I do not have a car as higher end as you, but based on budget I am considering these.
Some good reviews overall, gotta be way better ride and quiet compared to Run Flats
And I found a place at $216.00 per tire for my size 245/40R20 free shipping too

One of the worst things you can do is cheap out on tires for these cars. I would stick with the Conti’s or the Michelins.

FIRESTONE TIRE FIREHAWK AS V2, All Seasons

If that tire has good reviews I would get it. I had Michelin summer tires on my focus st 6 years ago and I liked the Firestone Firehawk tires better on that car. A non run flat will be way better until and if it goes flat. I have Bridgestone potenza summer tires on now I got for less than $800 for 4. With about 3 k miles on them now I think they are the best I have had ,very sporty feel to them.245/40/20.

I am in the minority here, as I generally stick with sub-$200 tires.
General gmax as 05 (now being phased out, new model is AS 07)
BFG comp2 plus AS
General slightly better in snow, BFG slightly better in rain. I prefer BFG
I think general has a few days left on their rebate (until the next one rolls around).

Anyone serious about driving a Camaro in the winter just needs to get another set of rims and put Blizzacks or something similar on them. Period! C'mon!
