All season Performance tire?
Looking to get All Season tires instead of Summer tires.
I have Yokahama Avid W4s's now and tire wear is good.
I was looking at Yokahama's again.
Falken makes an All season tire also has anyone used Falken?
Will not do Goodyear performance because the wear too fast!

235/40/18 and 235/35/19 seem to both be in stock. Not for long though. Probably the most popular all-season tire among our customers.

Not a big fan of Continental. (Sorry)
Tire stores around me say that the New Yokohama tires that just came out
and last seasons Yokohama and Sumitomo are great All weather tires.
Been looking at reviews online and customer comments from tire places.
People that get All seasons that attempt at being performance tires suck in the rain.
99% of customers that purchaced Yoko and Sumo tires say they handle
good in cold weather and rain. Most All season tires have a high heat rating suck in cold weather and rain.
Still looking.
Thanks............

I may have missed it - but what size tire are you looking for?
Falken has a few different tire models that are all-season performance tires.
Falken 912 - http://www.falkentire.com/Tires/Ziex-ZE-912-2
Falken 512 - http://www.falkentire.com/Tires/Ziex-ZE-512-13
Falken 329 - http://www.falkentire.com/Tires/Ziex-ZE-329-11
In my opinion, the 912 is a pretty good all-season performance tire. I sell quite a few of them for customers who want an all-season wheel/tire package and they all have been pretty happy with them. They are very affordable too. PM me if you are interested. If you are in the So. Cal. area, we offer installation. Or, let me know if you need them shipped.

The two that local dealers and people agree on for All year driving are
these two. Price and how long they last are great.
The Yokohama's will last longer but both have good prices and both
are great for all year driving.
I am not going to do two sets of tires and rims just yet.

Most people here have tried different Falken tires.
Most only like their Summer tires.
Say all Falkens they have tried suck in the rain or cold weather.
ZE-512 are great but hard to find now.
Dealers say they are discontinued and replaced by the ZE-912s.

Whats the speed rating on the ones you have and what is the UTQG rating?
What is the exact model/type you have?
The reason I don't like Continentals are friends and I have had them
desintegrate on them. Literaly crumble off the rim.
Not dry rot mind you but rub the surface with your hand and crumble.
They weren't that old either.

I'm on my third set of Pirelli P6s and they are a great winter tire and work well in the summer (I run 18" with Continentals for the summer usually). I reached 60k with each of the first two sets of Pirellis and have 176k on my A6 2.7T.
