I'm currently on Uniroyal Tiger Paw GTZs which were on the car when i bought it and while they are decent, they don't really excel at anything. They are also down to 3-4/32 so they are getting replaced either in the spring or the first time we get snow and a can't keep it from going sideways.

The standouts as far as all-season tires go seem to be the Conti DWS06 and the BFG Comp 2as. I'm going back and forth between these 2 but am open to all options. I like a performance tire on the backroads, but i do a LOT of highway driving (800 miles in a week is not uncommon) and the roads in PA and NJ aren't great. The BFGs win on price as I can get 4 installed at Costco for about $500, but I'm worried about three things: treadwear, noise and ride quality. Am I going to be replacing them once a year? Will the road noise drive me insane on a 200 mile trip? Will the ride quality result in visits to the chiropractor? the DWS06 seems to have a softer sidewall and sacrifices a bit of performance for road manners, but i dont know how much.

I'd love to get everyones input, especially if you are riding on standard 225/55r17 tires. Likewise, if you have an opinion on something I haven't considered, let me know.

Have the DWS06 for a year and a half now. I live in Chester County, PA so lots of twistys out here. Handling is superb but it looks like I'll be needing new tires by the end of spring.

Have you looked at toyo proxes

Old thread. Went with the General G-max AS-05. Nice improvement, especially in ride and noise. Hrip is very good, especially when wet. Quite a bargiain as well. After rebate the set of 4 was only $300
