Today I went out to get my haircut and ran over a nail and completely ruined my right rear tire, car is gonna have to sit for a couple weeks now, I'm getting tires off tire rack but I don't think I want to get the oem tires since they have a lot of road noise, what tires would you guys recommend that you have found to be the best

Also I will be back in Virginia in a year and some change so I will be back in snow

Planning on doing any light autocross? Light as in just for fun and not really concerned about doing it on your daily tires?

If anything you get nexens cheap out here

 

If you're looking for good all seasons, Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus are really good. I have them on my car and have used them in all driving conditions and they are great.

Based on TireRack reviews, these might be a great choice for a great price.

If you are going back to snow then I guess you'll be looking for all seasons.

 

I would suggest getting a new rim/tire combo like Advan RGII 18x9 +29 with 245/40/18 Dunlop Star Specs Z1's...just a thought. Lol.

But yeah, if you want all seasons I would just check the tirerack reviews. Not sure what you are looking for, performance or cost. Most of us Hawaii guys will have a different opinion on what's best vs. guys in Virginia.

 

Sure haha if you'll sell them to me for under a grand lol

Ya know I would say this. You have a hot minute before going back. Get a second set of wheels when you get back to VA and have a winter only setup. For now get a good summer/rain tire. Get to VA and rock them both

 

That not a bad idea I might just do that, then I would have the perfect setup all year round, expensive though haha

I used to live in Utah, so this snow thing is something I understand.

First, any wheel you like should never be run in snow. The salt ( or in Virginia's case, chemicals ) that they put on the road will eat them to bits. I would recommend steelies and snow tires as a second set of wheels. It allows you to have the benefits of a snow tire without worrying about them wearing down during the summer, and tr package would be cheap.

Keep nice tires/rims for the summer time.

Interesting fact about all-seasons.... They are not rated for snow, most anyway. In fact, it has more to do with the temperature the tire is rated for. Just keep in mind that the difference between all-seasons and snow tires is HUGE. There is no comparison. It's like the difference between street tires and r-comps, it's that dramatic.
