Default NW TT owners, tire selection

for all season tires. What are you using and would you change?

Yes, I know I should have two sets, winter/summer

I am someplace between.

Default Check the Tirerack reviews by customers. Avon Tech 550 A/S kicks *** and is very inexpensive.

We have these on a 2.5 Impreza wagon and have them on it, thanks to Luke at Tireracks recommendation. The tires are very sticky in the dry, the stickiest tires I've ever driven on in the wet and are very, very quiet.

Default Comparison of top Ultra High Performance All Season's from Tirerack. Awesome chart.

Basically, if you want the best tire for the money, get the Avon's. They are the second best to the RE960's, but the Avon's have known snow capability.

Falkens have worked well for my TT.
Check with Achtuning/Hartmann wheel for specials.

I was coming to the same conclusion Mike..think I just might go with the Avon.
