Many EVO owners are really happy with that tire especially in the snow.

It's a good winter tire (I have a set) but I wouldn't recommend it as a summer tire. The sidewalls are too soft (and "bouncy") and provide low traction when compared to the stock tires.

what type and condition do you drive in. these are not geat summer dry weather tires. but if you need snow and cold weather i agree. if you have a summer set of tires try the new Advin or Potenza, even BFG KDW are great.

I want a good all season performance tire. I am in the northeast, so I have all the seasons to contend with. The car is a daily driver being driven 70 to 100 miles a day rain or snow, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

for all season you should look at the michelin or even the BFG traction T/A V, the Yoko AVS db series was a very good allseason on My M roadster. you will have a larger selection of allseason to choose from . i used to live in CO. so i can understand the 1 tires does all concept.

good luck. let us know what you picked and how it worked.
