Default Reccomendations for replacements of stock Pirelli P6 all season (sport pkg)?

After driving 1000 miles in 2 days, I got a flat in one tire and a really slow leak in another (who knows where all the road hazards came from?!). Anyway, I want to replace the stock Pirellis with another all season tire on the stock sport package rims... any recommendations? Can't really afford separate summer/winter tire & wheel sets at the moment, so that option is a no-go...

Default Depends on what you want in a tire.

I replaced my P6 with Dunlop SP Sport Maxx.

Default BTW, tirerack is having some very nice rebate deals right now . . .

Look at the Goodyear GSD3s and Dunlop Sport Maxx . . . there may be a few other tires that qualify for the deal.

All-season tires are a compromise, if you can afford a $25-30K car, how can you honestly say you can't afford $5-700 for snows and steelies?

Get off-brand tires for $50/corner if cost is such an issue. You bought a car with the Sport Package for a reason I assume...

Default Check out General Exclaim UHP..

Very Cheap and Ranked #1 in Tirerack with good reviews. I am seriously considering these tires to replace P6 all season,

what do you guys think?

Default Ranked #1 because there are plenty of fanbois that have never owned summer tires before

:-)

That and because they're dirt cheap and most people don't care about turning or maintaining it's performance characteristics over a long period of time.

My 2 cents...I love my PZero Nero. Very sticky in all weather types I've encountered

Default ditto P-zero Nero's on a B5 A4

Worked well during driver's schools, not too noisy on the commute, good in the wet.
