I understand that getting two sets of dedicated tires (summer and winter) is the way to go for ultimate performance, handling, etc., but if you are looking for a decent all season tire - read decent.......it is not the best summer tire nor the best winter tire, but it is decent during both, I suggest the Dunlop SP Sport A2's. I put these tires on my car and was very pleasantly surprised. They handled much better (100%) all around than the lously stock Michelins. I live in Wisconsin and we get a good amount of snow and never really had any problems with them. The only times that I wasn't happy with them is when NO ONE could go anywhere unless you had a 4x4. Grip in the summer seems to be pretty good on both wet and dry. Again, I know that these tires do not compare to dedicated winter/summer tires, but if you are set on getting an all-season tire, I would highly suggest these. I got them for about $75-$80 per tire I think in 205/50/15 (for an Integra Sedan). Just wanted to throw that at you for what it is worth........good luck!

the contiextremecontacts are ulta high-performance all season and look at their ratings....

 

also dunlop SP5000s are a great ultra high performance all-season tire. i would suggest size 205 60 15 which would be the proper plus zero size for you.

i thought toronto would get a ton of snow being that it's on the lake. i personally run dedicated snow tires which is the best way to go. i run dunlop graspic ds-1s. they suck ass in the dry, but that's the trade off for a studless ice tire. there are some more perforamance oriented winter tires, but they are $$$ and give up some snow traction.

 

Can't go wrong with Pirelli P7000's

 

It is my understanding that Dunlop SP5000's are also a very good all season tire. I have yet to see or hear anyone ragging on them. However, the SP Sport A2's are supposed to have a slightly longer life.....that is why I went with them.

 

^the SP5000s will trade off much better grip inexchange for treadlife and probably worse snow traction than the Sp A2s.

i used to run the D60 A2s, the old version, and the 5000s have so much more grip which is indicated in it's W speed rating and higher price. although they do have a tread wear rating of 340 which is still high and have held up well if it wasn't for negative camber.

 

Accordsleeper -
Thanks for the clarification........that is what I guessed
better grip = shorter tread life

I cannot complain about the grip of the A2's - but then again I am coming from the stock Michelins (which are terrible), so I guess my basis for comparison is pretty low.

By the way, how many miles did you get on your D60's?

 

You're wrong, actually...at least from my experience and EVO Magazine's experience. They placed 7th in a comparison of 8 maximum performance tires because of their awful wet traction.

I've owned the Potenza S-03, Dunlop SP9000, and now the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. My impressions:

Dry
1) Potenza
1) Goodyear
3) Dunlop

Braking
1) Goodyear
2) Potenza
3) Dunlop

Wet
1) Goodyear
1) Dunlop
3) Potenza

Road Feel
1) Goodyear
2) Potenza
3) Dunlop

Threshold handling
1) Goodyear (very, very predictable)
2) Potenza (predictable but had a nasty tendency for wanting to kick the ass end around at the limit...pretty scary. And when these tires lost grip, they lost it all at once)
3) Dunlop (not nearly as good in the dry as in the wet)

Looks
1) Goodyear
2) Dunlop
3) Potenza

Both me and EVO are unbiased. I thought the S-03's were the best thing available until I read that shocking article (shocking at the time) and put some F1 GS-D3's on my car h:

 

It's on the north western side of it. Leeward side I think it's called.

 

Whoever asked I have a Supra TT, Honda Accord, DSM, Saturn SL2

Also the Bridgestone's worked best for me.......although no matter what mashing the gas at less than 60mph leads to no traction despite having any kind of tires
