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

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.

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.
Finally got the winters off yesterday and found a screw in one of the tires. Haven't tried pulling it out yet as it's not leaking AND it's also pretty close to shoulder so it might not be repairable. Any opinions on whether it's fixable (if it did go through)?
Was hoping to run them for 2 more seasons before I swap to CrossClimates but if it's not fixable I'd have to replace the whole set (or just get the CC2s early).
^thats looks repairable for sure. it doesnt seem THAT close to the sidewall.
just go with CC2's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wait for that costco michelin promo and then go
2 weeks later, CC3 released.
Double the eyebrows. Triple the grip. Revolutionary sodium-filled ablative nitrile barbs for >1 G lateral grip in ice, mud, and tarmac: a historic industry first.

Since you don't need to drive on it anymore, just pull it out. I've had two "punctures" on the AD09 with the M3, and neither of them actually went through.

Update: Pulled it and it was about a half inch screw and looks like it didn't penetrate deep enough and the tire is still holding air. A half inch Robertson screw is definitely a rarity.
The whole world has gone down a road no one can recover from, and it's nothing to do with governments, it's because so much of the general public is so fucking stupid.
