Default All Season Tires

I'm looking at high performance all-season tires and I can't make up my mind. What are you running or have you run? What should I stay away from?

Right now I'm looking at these two.... http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes

or http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes

Thanks for any advice or feedback.

tread pattern on the yokos will be much better in rain and the treadwear rating (subjective) is higher, meaning they should last longer. go with those unless you want the grippier dunlops which will wear faster.

tread pattern is funky on these, but reviews and surveys are excellent.

exactly what my coworker (Dubwize on here) has on his Z. He said they are good in dry conditions but even better in wet/icy.

I had Kumho ASXs for the last two years and couldn't say enough good things about them.

Great in the wet and better than i ever could have imagined in the snow, pretty decent in the dry, and got great life out of them too.

I'd buy them again.

In the TR survey results, the ASXs aren't too far behind in performance from the Dunlops you were looking at.

At $128 ea for the ASXs in your size on Tirerack, I'd probably be looking at the Dunlops too for only $5 more on closeout.

If the Dunlops are truly better than the ASX, as the survey says, I can't see how you wouldn't be happy with them for that price.

I run these on my DD except I have 205/45/16. After driving around in the snow and rain, I have no complaints. The sidewalls are pretty soft too.
