Default All Season Tires

I rotated my tires over the weekend and notice my front left was practically bald on the inside...So that being said I need a front end alignment and new tires. I have been looking around for some all season tires and was curious what tires people have had good luck with?

I live in northern IL so I am in need of a good all season tires that does decent in slush/snow and would like a somewhat quieter tire until I get an exhaust.

So far I have looked at

Michelin Pilot Sport $$
Pirelli PZero



Thanks for the Help!

tire rack is a good source of info for tires, you can read what people have rated the tires and any comments they may have about them.

I have the Pilot Sport A/S plus's on my GXP and they are a great tire! However, they do not perform on the 1/4 mile on the track!

On the street however they are phenomenal.

Yea, I have been all over tire rack. I have read a lot about the potenzas but from what I found they are made at the stock size.

Good to hear about the pilots though, I'm not planning on doing the 1/4, saving up for another car for that.

i have a set of pzero nero's on my stock set and they are great during the winter/snow. I had no problem getting around in 10+ inches of snow last winter. They are cheap, last a long time, and have great traction in wet/slick conditions. I would personally go with them. I picked a set up at Tires Plus for only $600 mounted and balanced.

Default Michelin Pilot Sport Plus

I run the Michelin Pilot Sport Plus all season as well. As stated above, great street tire! Treadwear 500 Traction AA! No experience with this one in foul weather, however on dry pavement it's miles ahead of the Stock Goodyears Impala SS come with. It's one of only a few high milage performance tires out there. I've had Michelin's on other cars in the past and have always been happy. They're expensive, but worth it to me.

I got the pzero. Great all season so far. I got them before winter and survived the chi storm we had. They are quiet and thread life is still good

Sounds good, I may have to go with the pzeros just because they are so much cheaper and the perofrmance seems to be on par with the pilots.

I bought some michelin pilot sport as plus. All season high performance tires which are also great on fuel economy and a high tread rating. About 215 a tire. Worth every penny. Caught them on sale at a ford dealership during a tire sale for $800 total w a balance and a allignment included. Tire rack and discount tire was charging me 1100 walkout price with just a balance. Check dealerships on tire sales!

Not sure if this is an option for you but I got a great deal from tirerack on winter rims and tires. It was under $800 a couple years ago around October. It is sooooo much better than any all season tire in winter.
