Default New Tire Help

I live in Maryland so winter weather is a concern. I have 30k on my 2001 225 Coupe and the OEM tires are about done. Any recomendations. I am looking for the best of everything in a tire:

Quiet, Good Winter and Summer Traction, Long treadlife, and low cost.

I understand I can't have all of those but your thoughts and feedback are appreciated. Thanks

Neil

Default I have the Pirelli PZero Nero M+S. Tire Rack gives them high marks...>>

If you have a lot of snow then a dedicated snow tire is what you need. Tire rack and others have 16" steel wheel and snow tire combos.

Default I have Pirelli P7000 SuperSports M+S, and they have been...

pretty good in the snow, rain, summer. Nero's are the newer replacement of those so that's what I would recommend.

Default Falken Ziex Ze-512

All-season, best in test by Consumer Reports. A set is going on my car this week.

A co-worked loves them on his WRX. Other TT owners here have given them high marks.

$500 or so, installed at Discount Tire.

Another vote for PZero M&S - great tire for your needs. Like mine a lot. Have the ContiExtremes on my A4 and like them too.

Default Re: Falken Ziex Ze-512--they are great

Have about 5000 miles on them. They are smooth, quiet and handle well dry or wet. Got them at discount for about 500 a set. Would not buy anything else now that I have seen how good they are. Next set my wife needs..will put them on! good luck!
