Which all-seasons

I think I need new tires. It snows maybe once every two weeks and there is snow on the ground for a day or two, so I don't really want snow tires,

Can anyone recomend a good all-season that will do the trick?

See the other thread. I would get snow tires for the winter that actually still handle dry pavement well. Then in the spring, put your high performance tires back on.

If you are dead set on all season tires, Dunlop SP5000s are good tires. Give tire rack a call for suggestions.

If you have a staggered set up, you are limited to very few tires. If you want an all seaon, here are my few options.
1) Michelin Pilot Sport PS2.<New born from Michelin
2) Dunlop Sport5000
3) Michelin Pilot Sport A/S
All these tires will cost you bout' $195-250 per tire but you will get what you pay for.
No matter what you choose, don't buy P7000 Ultra Highperformance all season.

Since you are not using them in the heat of the summer, and want good all season traction with light snow ability, you might look at Bridgestone RE950's. They have excellent wet grip, good snow grip, and tend not to loose the quality as they wear because of the Uni-T technology. Price is right too.

The problem is right now I have Brigdestone Eagers and they have a bit better snow rating than the RE950s so I need something that is a little better in the snow.

Also I would like snow tires but I am moving to texas in May so I just can see paying 400 for tires that I will use for 3 months.
