All-Season Tires

[TheFated1]

My current tires (the OEM's) are going to probably last the rest of the summer, but I really don't want to go through another Jersey winter on them, so does anyone have recommendations on decent all-seasons to put on my MS3?

I was looking at TireRack and GoodYear Eagle GT's seemed ok, but then again I really have no experience in selecting tires, so I'd rather have the community's advice.

Thanks in advance.

Falken Ziex 912's. They are pretty good. I have them on my miata and have decent grip and do very well in the rain.

and totally insufficient for the power the ms3 puts out

you bought a car that came with summer only tires, and there's a reason for that... stick with those and get dedicated winter tires.... don't be cheap for the sake of safety!

OP asked for opinions on A/S tires and thus I gave one. As for the MS3 wheels spinning capabilities, it spins my 225 RT-615s quite easily and those things grip up too.

This winter I used Goodyear F1 all-season ultra high performance 225/40/18; they were pretty good in snow up to 4" -- they were useless in the 8" storm we had this year (fairly unusual for this area). Overall I'm pretty pleased with them; they are louder then stock though.

Here's a pic of it next to the stockers....

I got the Continental Extreme Contacts and was very happy with them in shallow/deep snow and rain. They are very capable tires in the dry too....(glare)
