Talking All-season Tire Suggestions?

...but I'm out of space! I'm going to sell my AP1 stockers with Blizzaks on them right now, and put some all-seasons on my AP2s for a couple years. I'm looking for suggestions of good all-season tires that can handle a little white stuff but don't completely fall apart in the warm months either. I'm not going to track with these so no worries.

Thanks for you input

avon tech 550s. I ran them and only them the whole time I owned the car. I LOVED them for an all season.

if you guys could also put an appropriate size for an AP2 rim, that would really help. or i could just post in the tire forum.

Sorry, I honestly don't know. I only had the AP1.

P Nero Zero M&S
215/45-17 Front
245/40-17 Rear

I use these as my winter tires - I'm happy with them. They work very well in the cold temps and rain too. I have not driven them in the snow, so I can't comment on that.

Got the P Zero Nero on mine and had them on my previous car. Treadwear not that great, but that goes with any tire on this car.

I've heard all good things about both Zero and Avon Tech...

I've had the Pilot A/S tires and it's been great for me

I've been most pleased with the treadlife. Front tires are just about to hear the wear marks after 45,000 miles of use: got the rears replaced after about 30,000.

I just removed my nero m+s's today in favor of some summer rubber... even though they don't come in correct ap1 fitments (the 225/245 discrepancy) I still love those tires. Even with an undersized rear I never had a problem this winter.

I'm down to the wear bars in the rear after about 10 months (two winters), fronts look brand new. I would say somewhere around 25k miles. I am very hard on rear tires though so take that mileage with a grain of salt.

As for next winter, I will most likely pick up another set of rears since they are only ~100 bucks from the tirerack.

I put them on the rear last month, a little squirrley while they break in but work great now. Got me through snowy days too. Will replace the OEM fronts with same in another 8K miles.
