Default Need new tires.....Mich Hydro Edge??? any thoughts?

2000 A8L need new tires and I'm not sure which would be best for my car, I know that most of you have winter and summmer tires but what I'm looking for a good all year tire, any recommendations?

Default Try tirerack.com. They have tools to decide what tires you want and they can ship it to a shop...

I just bought a set of Continentals from them: the tires are not bad with snow and are quiet on the highway.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&amp;url=%2Ftires%2Ftires.jsp%3FtireMak e%3DContinental%26amp%3BtireModel%3DContiExtremeCo ntact%26amp%3Bpartnum%3D26VR6CEC%26amp%3BvehicleSe arch%3Dtrue%26amp%3BfromCompare1%3Dyes%26amp%3Bpla ce%3D1%26

Default Re: Toyos

I've had pretty good luck, with Toyo Proxies TPT on my '98 A8 (those wore evenly for four years) and the current Toyo Versados on the S8. The former will fit the standard 17" wheels seen from '97-'02. They are fairly quiet and handle well dry and wet. Definitely not models of perfection in the snow, but I never got stranded.
