Car and Driver teamed up with Tire Rack to test North American all weather tires. Pirelli wins this round. The Goodyear they tested was the older version and the newer one would likely have come 1st or 2nd. The big news is that there are lots of great options now in all weather tires - you don't have to get the eyebrow tires.
I literally just bought a set of the WeatherReady 2's to replace my Speed 3's old Xice's just the other day. Fountain Tire had them on sale, $1300 all in, plus a $120 rebate. Not bad. They're one of the few models that actually has them in my Speed 3's OEM size (215/45/18). For whatever reason, it's a pretty uncommon size. The Pirellis and Crossclimates are something like $400-500 more expensive. Not worth it for me and my use case.

Not only was it 26C yesterday, there was a sudden-onset hail storm with thunder and lightning and everything. Then like an hour later it was friggin hot and sunny again.

I don't have the luxury of all-seasons like onrdukes so I really will have to be Acura416

Which car is in question?

I thought about getting just summers next time around instead of all-seasons, but to deal with this pissy ass weather in the GTA, umm...yeah.

Yeah I didn't think of the weather swings, that was my mistake. Oh this is the i3 with the RWD and 155/70/19 tires lol. Definitely CC3 at the next opportunity.

Man, that Hobz quote...

April and October/November are the months where the weather will swing in extreme directions. I'm often cautious on swapping over until I see a level of consistency in weather patterns.

This year was the exception. I needed to do an oil change and the weather was good last week. Pulled an Acura604 and Badhobz by swapping out the wheels and did a driveway oil change.

I have to hear it all the time after not installing tpms in my new wheels. I thought I was going to be able to code it out.

Just brought them home from the shop today. Interesting that even though they're technically the same size as my old Xice's, they're about 1/4" wider per tire. I had to slide my storage rack out about an inch to get them to fit.
Now they sit and wait for the next 6-7 months lol.
