| recommendations for new set of all season tires
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

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.

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. https://www.facebook.com/alpha1automotive
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

+1 for nokians | 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.

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.
