Talking Need Tires For 05 Wrx

Please help. I drive about 30,000 miles per year and I would like to find a set of great all-season performance tires that will last awhile. Any ideas? (keep in mind I live in michigan)

continental conti extreme contact tires are nice. Ive heard great things about toyo proxes 4 tires. Not sure on how they last. Check out tirerack and rear the reviews on some of their all-season tires.

I have my stock WRX '05s for possible sale (price dependant)
they only have 100 miles on them.

E-Mail me if you are interested, Bbasso@yahoo.com

Leaning towards Michelin's Pilot Sport A/S myself...not the least expensive option, but everything I've heard about them suggests that they have a decent compromise between dry/wet/light snow grip with comfort and long tread wear.

Anyone hear anything about the HANKOOK VENTUS HRII H405? They seem to have pretty good over all performance (through reviews) but have not heard to much of them in this forum.

try the cooper zeon zpt.... nice for the summer and good in the snow. They might be a bit loud on the road though, but have great grip. I have autocrossed these and have had good results

wrong anwser. Proof would be on my car. Got them with 22k and now have 54k. Tread is still good except for on the inner tire because of my alignment. Still have 5k in them. Haven't even hit wear line yet.

They're good for the price, but you probably won't see 30k on them.

I really like my Dunlop SP5000's.

Nice and comfy on the street, decent for spirited driving and great in the wet. Its almost tough to break traction in the rain! I think they are M+S rated, they did ok in the slush but there wasnt enough snow for me to give an opinion.

I bought them used and I alternate between winter and summer tires so I dont know how many miles they would be good for. I would recommend them for a good AS tire.
