I was wondering if anyone could point me towards some good all season performance tires, I live in Canada so yes they do need to be able to handle snow and ice. I have a set of michelin harmonies on it right now, they are nearly done tho. Any suggestions would be apriciated.

those harmony's would do well, but they are pricey!!! Another option is BFG Traction T/A's

When I first got the car it had Traction T/A's on front, and Michilen MXV4's on the rear. IMO the T/A's had a pretty soft sidewall. Good ride, but spongy feel. The MXV4's were garbage. Glad when they were off the car.

Uniroyal Tiger Paw Touring HR's - Got these to replace the mix n match set the car came with. Great performance to cost ratio, rode really well. Really cheap at Crappy Tire, handled the autoX's well, and had no troubles in the winter with the snow. Recommended them to a few friends who also really liked them. They perform really well for the price.

Nokian Hakka WR's - Got these to replace the Uniroyals as I spend winters in Northern Ontario at the moment and needed something more climate oriented for there. An 'All Weather' tire, ie. all season that's also snowflake rated and approved as a winter tire. Rather pricey at $150 per tire, but a simply amazing tire. Handles deep snow and ice like it's not even there, wet roads feel like dry, great ride quality and handling. Little softer sidewall than the Uniroyals I think, but I absolutely love them. The high price is worth it IMO, the Finnish did a great job with this tire.

Falken Ziex ZE512 - Run these "All seasons" as my track tires. Great performing tire for the summer, takes corners and grip very well. Judjing by how it handled the rain, I don't think they would work out in the winter worth two shits.

I ran Kumho ASX tires for a long time. Good compromise between performance in all weather and tread life.

why not have two sets? i have snow tires that i throw on when things start to freeze. I find snow/ice tires to be waaaay better in Canada vs all season tires. then you can put on the bling again in spring

^ what he said.

I would find a set of steel wheels and throw on some snow tires. I am running 14in steelies with nokian snow tires and I drove through snow that was hitting the bottem of the front bumper and didnt have to much trouble. Once it starts getting below freezing i throw on the snow tires like stated above.

the falken ze512 or the ze912 both have a lot to offer for an all season tire, most of the srt guys around here run the 512's on 400+hp cars and still hook on 225's
