It has been more than 7 years since I've run all-season tires on a small car, so the best I can do is suggest the manufacturers that I've grown to trust over the years: Dunlop, Kumho and Goodyear. I would probably pick a tire from one of these. In fact, the last all-season I used were Dunlops (that I liked a lot), but I don't think they make that particular model any more. Dunlop and Kumho tend to offer very good value for the cost.

Honestly, if someone were to put a gun to my head right now and tell me to go out and buy a set of "best bang for the buck" all-seasons for my WRX: I would pick:

#1 Kumho Ecsta ASX (420 treadwear rating is very good for long life) That's my pick.

#2 Dunlop SP Sport 5000 Asymmetrical.

Unless you have a lot of $$$, forget the other stuff, you are drivin' miles, my friend.

Unless driven very heavy-footed on the turns, either of these should give 40k miles or more.

There are some all-season tires recommended in another thread on this forum.

Get some new tires soon, because you drive a lot. Pay attention to the tire pressures and rotation to make them last as long as you can.

Unfortunately it's the same 5% that owns these type of companies...
you could say the same for just about every race.

im at 7900 miles on my RE92's in 6 months, and rotated them at 4500 miles, will rotate again at 9000.. i doubt theyll last 15000 miles tho.... cant wait to get something better.

RE92's have crappy traction, crappy sidewall strength, uber crappy tread wear (rating of 160!?!? pathetic!) , and they expensive for this tiny size.... I will never buy them and cant believe they came on the wrx to begin with... lol

Or you could look at some very informative threads from before

Just kidding, its pointless ranting, I have no clue how long they last.
