All Season Tire Recommendations
I live in Pittsburgh, PA. Need all four tires. We get some snow but we usually don't get dumped on. Looking for help in selecting something sporty as well.
Thanks!

Re: All Season Tire Recommendations
Hey! how about Dunlop Sport A2's ? I just put them on my 1998 A4 2.8. I got mine for $111 each. I have seen other A4's with them. They are performace tires, but have some tread to them. check out trierack.com
I am also in Pittsburgh and I got mine from NTB over in monroeville (a few blocks from where I live)

I've been using a set of Dunlop sp5000's for my winter tire. A+++
I live in the NE. So the summer sp8000's that came with the car were more than a little scary in snow. I sold the sp8000's and bought 5 all-season (including spare) sp5000's from the Tirerack and put them on the stock 16" rims. I've had them for 2 winters and will put them on again in Nov. I've been very pleased with their performance.

I recently just got Bridegestone Potenza RE950
Nice tire overall. Needed a tire that was all season yet had some performance tire characteristics. Doubtful these tires well see snow since I switch to all snows in Nov or late October (NH peep here). paid about $94 thru tirerack.

I was going to go with the sp5000's as well, but the A2's came out and had good reviews so I thought that I'd try them. They are rated very close to the Sp5000 as far as traction in snow/wet goes.
The stock tires just plan suck for winter driving!
