Hey guys,
I read the post below but didnt come to any difinitive answers...i live in a very rainy place with some mud gravel...some ice and snow...and then during the summer very dry...im looking for a good all around tire.....i was thinking the toyo proxes 4 siped but is there something that is more bang for the buck?
Thanks

The 4's come siped, so you don't need to get them siped.
I like them on my Forester. They haven't disappointed me yet. They weren't fun at all in the snow.

how much you looking to spend?
and what size?
i think the Nokian WR is the greatest all season ever. but it is a bit more snow and ice oriented and it isnt cheap.
it is the only all season tire that has recieved a sever duty snow rating.
has a pretty stiff sidewall and handles very nice in the dry too.

yeah my biggest concern is wet pavement and gravel. ice and snow about 9% of the time and then dry pavement when not that...and price is a factor cuz well isnt it always??? thanks for the help guys keep them coming.....I live in the northwest if thats any indicator =0)

Also, the Continental Extremecontacts are EXCELLENT all-seasons, especially for the money.

they were very good for the first few winters.
but after 4 winters the traction on snow and ice went down a lot, even though there was a decent amount of tread left.

Falken Ziex Ze 512 is a good choice for an inexpensive high performance all season. Check out edgeracing.com for good prices for the next couple weeks. 205/50/16 @ $65 each!

I'm not sure if my car will last another 3 winters.
