New Tires

Mista B · 11-28-2011, 02:05 PM

I need new tires but I don't know which ones to get. I'm looking for All-Seasons because I live in Michigan. I know they aren't the best in snow but I cant afford a pair of winter and another pair for the summer. Belle Tire recommended Dunlop Signatures but there reviews are terrible. I am looking to spend less than $500 on four tires. Any information is helpful. Thank you in advanced.

Did some research looking at

Yokohama ADVAN S.4. and Continental ExtremeContact DWS

yay or nay?

My experience with the Yokohama AVID was terrible, they skidded around in the rain when driving the car off the lot, and I never felt particularly stable in the wet with them. I replaced them with the Continental Extremecontact DWS tires and the car is like its on rails (in a good way)! I would suggest the Continentals, they always get great reviews on here and I highly doubt you will have issues, tho I do suggest you get chains for your car if you live in a snow/ice prone area, your car may be replaceable but you aren't, and when a bad storm hits you don't always have time to stop by the local Les Schwab for snow tires.
