i was searching the forum for some legit tire alternatives, and tires have been mentioned all over the place...but for one problem...ppl are from all over the country....id thought id narrow it a bit

Lets keep it simple if we can...what, if any, all season tires are out there to replace the stocks....im not looking for a cost analysis here, but strictly tire v tire....

I have not gone tire shopping since 2004. Why may you ask? Vehicle problems from 04 to present hahaha, ive never had to replace my tires havent clocked in over 30k in 1 vehicle prior to 04. SO....

for ppl in the northeast, or like weather (snow, rain, ice, etc) what are the best all seasons out for our truck? seriously, some good recommendations would be much appreciated, i do not want the stocks on for this winter, and tires, right now, are my least knowledgeable subject, id love to hear what you guys suggest, but please dont recommend based on price, im not saying price wouldnt be a factor down the line, i just dont want it to influence the best choices out there

Hey Mmike HOw many miles do you have on your RDX? Have you replaced the tires yet?
Im on about 28500m so far,

I'm reading Yokohama Spec-X has good ratings esp. for us guys who live w/ the cold snow weather.

I know this might be a bit outside of what you are asking for, but I went with an all terrain (AT) tire that I am familiar with and very happy with. I see this as sort of a super all season.

Has big voids which means it is very resistant to hydroplaning, is quite sticky and has dual compound rubber to work esp. well in the wet.

The gotcha is I had to downsize to a 17" rim. But... the 17" tires are cheaper than the 18" tires, so in the long run, this is probably a financial advantage, despite buying new rims.

I went with the Bridgestone Revo AT in 235/65R17, which comes out the same diameter as the stock tires.

That said, there are a number of other good choices in this size.

Bridgestone Dueler AT D695 (milder version of the Revos), Michelin LTX AT 2, Pirelli Scorpion AT, Pirelli Scorpion ATR (little milder), Yokohama Geolandar AT- S...

I am likely going to buy Conti Extremecontact DWS. They get awesome all around ratings.

I ran the Continental ContiExtremeContacts on my Infiniti G35C and liked them OK. Not great at anything, but OK at everything too. Half decent in the snow even. At least for all seasons.
