hey guys i need ur recommendations on a new set of all season tires
im looking to replace my old all seasons - nitto neo gens mounted on 15's

absolutely loved the neo gens and i would rate it 5/5 in both dry and wet conditions, however it is pretty shitty on snow with only 2/5

basically what i'm looking for are a set of all seasons with the same or better performance as the neo gens in both dry and wet but i need it to perform at least 3/5 in snow... not looking for too much on snow performance as we barely get any

Conti DWS.

I would recommend the Conti DWS as well. Had them on the STI and they were fantastic. I believe they are considered an "all weather" tire but I don't recall them having the snowflake rating. I hit the snow a few times and they were just fine.

another one for G-MAX. Great tire for the money.

I'm running Conti DWS also. They've been awesome so far.

I was also thinking of running the G-Max originally but the price was pretty close locally.

If you get them in the States the General's seem to be quite a bit cheaper.



I got my Conti's from Alpha 1.

His price was pretty close with US price factoring in duties/mount/balance and stuff. Paid a little more and not have to deal with shipping tires + border lines + lining up to pay taxes, etc

Just swapped in new Nokian WRG3 to replace the worn WRG2's on my Subaru. These tires were nothing short of fantastic in the snow for an all weather tire. Great wear too.

I've been extremely happy with the WRG2s on my Nissan (replaced Continental ContiProContacts). Great all-weather tire.

is this for 205/50R15? not too many choices with this size. try 195/55R15 slightly larger, but options for tires are much better.
+1 for nokians

nokians are great, but really hurts your wallet.

What sizes are your DWS? Thinking of getting another set before winter rolls around

Looked at a few different sizes and the G-Maxs are roughly $20/tire cheaper ... $80 for the set isn't exactly a deal breaker, especially when you consider that the Nokians are certified by Transport Canada for severe winter conditions (a requirement on many highways during the winter) while the G-Max is only rated for light snow.

yeh hoping for 205/50 but options seem to be more for 195/55 so i would consider this size too if the performance difference is better

so far gmax and nokians are the ones that come in 15s but not for dws..

keep the options coming thx

I've read a lot of good reviews on the Kumho 4x, they perform similarly to the dws at a lower cost. I'm ran them last year with our slow with out much troubles.

For the money I would go with the g-max plus they have a pretty neat thread pattern design. If you dont mine coughing up the extra $ michelin pilot sport as3

I had Pirelli P4's for two years on a crappy sedan I owned for a while. Great tire vs oem Bridgestone Turanza's.

4/5 in light snow & slush.

195/60 looks like closest size they offer to your fitment though. Pirelli has a P6 plus in the 195/55.
