Default I need new tires

My tires have about half life and am starting to look for new. It is a MY05 with original tires. Car has just over 20k. I am looking for a good all season tire. I live in Charlotte, NC so we don't get a lot of snow that I do not necessarily need winter treads. Just looking for a nice all season tire.

i'm all over dunlop direzza star specs. absolutely no snow traction, and aren't an all season, but decent in the rain, and sweet on street, track

I've had several brand and model tires on my 3 s2000's over the past 8 years and these yoko s drive's have been the best wet/dry and wear. I actually called discount tire direct and offered them 400 delivered and they lowered the price! I will buy again.

Why do you want all seasons? If you live in NC you should go with summer tires - I'm on Sumitomo HTRZ III's now and they are actually great tires.

u live in NC and want all seasons? i live in CT and drive year round on summers. all seasons are a waste of money. they excel at NO seasons. get the star specs. they are awesome.
