Lordy, so many people have no idea what the meaning of an all season tire is. These are all summer tires.

without a car, how much experience do you have with these? i'm wondering if you're basing your recommendation on hearsay or tirerack.com reviews.

A friend of mine here in Madison has a Protege5 which comes stock with them. He's my go-to guy for borrowing a car.

Yet another summer tire in a thread about all season tires.

But...my dad just put a set of em on his Audi TT and I was driving it around last week while home on spring break and they seemed reasonably sticky for what they try to be, which is a summer tire that still retains decent tread wear and ride comfort.
