Sorry that I have to make another one of these threads.. I know there are millions of them, but I can seem to find my specific needs...

basically, I'm looking for a tire with these requirements:

-good for all seasons
(I live in ohio. The S is a DD for me.. winters here are unpredictable, but all the roads are usually salted or plowed)

-decent performance
(i'm not going to be autocrossing or anything of that matter.. only spirited driving once in a while to be able to enjoy my car)

-best bang for the buck!
(I need a tire that will have a decent amount of life in them for a good price)

hopefully somebody can point me in to the right direction in helping me find a tire thats fits me.. Thanks!

Audi guys like the Falken 512s for all season. I guess they are about as good as a Kumho 712 in the summber, and a decent tire for the winter as well. Granted these are people with AWD cars so perhaps the winter performance isn't as good on the S2000.

I would go with a set of snow tires such as the Bridgestone Blizzak's. They will perform much better in snow/ice conditions than regular all season tires.

i agree with syncmaster

i dont know how are winter in ohio, but here in iowa i would need a set of blizzaks (which i have on the car now) and i have a set of spring/summer wheels that im planning on buying potenzza re050a pole position for in the spring

Yeah, i know thats the better idea. however, money is a little tight right now with school. i can afford the what? 900 give or take for some blizzaks on steelies or what not, but i can't afford buying ANOTHER set of tires right after winter.

so im pretty much stuck with having to get some tires that will do decent in the winter and summer as well.

im not going to be driving the car when theres a lot of snow out... i can use my brother's beater if that were to happen. I have access to it pretty much whenever i want. just not everday, he uses the beater only as an alternate vehicle to help keep mileage on his primary car down.

The General Tire Exclaim UHP is branded with the "M+S" symbol, it can be driven in occasional light snow. The price for 4 (205/55-16 and 225/50-16) is very low at $280 + shipping at Tirerack.

The General tire is branded that way but they are not an all season tire. The best that I have driven in an all season is the new Bridgestone RE960AS or the Pirelli P Zero Nero M/S.
If I can help just let me know.
