Best all seasonal out there IMO, check out how high the ratings are on tirerack.
these look really good. really high ratings on tirerack, only thing is this'll set me back a little more than the others buy a good $100+. if i go w/ these i think id have to wait another month before picking them up. i'll def keep this one in mind though.


i think the falkens look the best, but then i see a bunch of random people complaining about treadwear.


oh yeah, i forgot id have to pay for balancing/mounting them, too :sad:

Treadwear is pretty good on the TT's. I get about 40-50k miles out of them and I corner pretty hard on them sometimes (and my AV6 is a pig). They're pretty firm but very comfortable.
