Ok, I'm looking into tires and I need an opinion. Living in Canada I need a tire that great in dry, but also good in wet and occasionally very light snow. I'm looking at the Bridgestone RE950, RE730, Toyo FZ4, or Falken Ziex 512. The falken's look like the best buy and an exceptional tire. Thanks.

 

How about the Falken Azenis?&nbsp I think the Azenis would blow the doors away off of most of those brands with the exception of the Bridgestone RE730's.

what about Yokohoma AVS Intermediates, i have no clue how they are in the wet stuff

 

If you have a need for use in light snow, you're automatically limited to the all-season ultra high performance tires, which eliminates any of the really good UHP tires, like the AVS I's. FWIW, I've run ok in light snow with a full tread depth AVS I's. The AVS I's perform admirably in damp conditions, but not as well as I'd wanted in a deluge...

 

I like my Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D2

 

Thanks for all the suggestions. I would love to get any of those tires you suggested, but being in Canada, I need something really good in rain, hopefully they will be off before any snow falls. Any suggestions on Ultra High Performance All-Seasons? If I lived in Cali or somewhere more south, I'd go all out performance, but no such luck.
