Good All Season Tire Choice

Zack77 · 09-30-2014, 03:08 AM

I'm in need of some new tires - I purchased some kumho ecsta's in March and needless to say they've been in need of replacement since June. Overall I thought the tires handled great but they wore extremely quick.
I'm looking for something that can handle a bit of snow when necessary - but it will not be driven usually in those conditions. My main concern is tread-life though. Not looking to buy a set of tires that will only last 10,000 miles and then need replacement again.

They are for a 2006 325i-stock 16inch rims. If anyone has any comments or suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it.

A good place to compare tires would be tirerack.com. You can check out their surveys and see a list of comparable tires with all their specs in one chart

Just got some michelin pilot as3's. So far an awesome tire haven't seen snow yet. All the reviews claim they're one of the best all season tires.

My Pirelli P-Zero Nero A/S lasted me 40k miles. Costed me about $540 at a SamsClub for the tires themselves. I rotated them once, and I also had a decent bit of torque to the wheels.

A lot of our customers seem to be pretty happy with their Continental ExtremeContact DWS and Michelin Pilot Sport AS3
