I'm needing a set of new tires for my 6 spd '04 TL. The dealer swapped my Bridgestone's for a second set at about 10,000 miles. Most of you know the probs we had with these tires. Their replacement tire was better but BARELY.

I put two Michelins on the front before last winter. Unfortunately, that was my only quick option for an all season tire - and quickly. Now I need 4 new tires.

I"m NOT supporting the French again (Frog Michelin's).

I"d like to buy something that's quality but will be a good all season tire. We get about 2-3 mos. of snow/ice here in Central Ohio. I'm also on the hwy quite a bit so need a nice quiet tire.

Anyone else in the same situation ? Anyone have a good rec?


Thanks,
Pete

Buy the Kuhmo ASX tire in 245-45-17.

This is the second set of ASX tires I've purchased, and they are great. Quiet, and a good value.

Check out the survey results on this tire at TireRack.com.

A lot of peopel are happy with Toyo Proxes 4. I have had them for a bit and I like them. They seem to offer a lot of performance and good tread life. I paid 650 installed which I was very happy with, especially since they are not a comprimise.

1+ on the Kuhmo ASX!!! BEST PRICED TIRE PERIOD!!

I have heard good things about the ASXs also. I am trying them or the PZERO neros next.

-1 for Nitto NT 555s. They handle killer but are noisier than the Turanzas.

Your loss. Michelin PS/AS are about the best all season you can get for your car.

Picked up 4 TOYO Proxes 4's yesterday. $640 out the door. Great looking tire, quiet and looks to be something that will tear up snow.

MrPete -- Please repost when the snow hits central Ohio!! I was considered the Proxes 4 too, but due to not enough info about ride comfort and snow traction, I went with the P-Zero Nero. I love them but I might like the P4 just as much. And it's not snowed in Balt-DC yet... Snow traction is more than tread design, it's rubber compound as well.

thanks!

Proxes 4 are awesome! As for reviews, check out 1010tires...they have a pretty good user review section.

I just put the Proxes 4's on my car last week. They look great, handle well and should have decent treadlife(30K miles?). However, they are not all that quiet. There is a definite hum/whine with these tires. I might be overly sensitive to the noise, but I think I will look for something else the next time I need tires.
