Good all season tires for stock rims?
I live in Canada so we see a whole variety of weather. I hardly know anything about the topic of tires, but I do know that I will only be able to afford one set of tires. So what is a good all season tire with emphisis on performance and average tread life? These will be going on the stock rims.

I like the Continental Extreme Contacts for the snow and rain and they are quiet but they are not the best dry road tire. I think I will get at least 60k miles out of them.

Mizery,
Do you get alot of snow & ice during the winter where you live in Canada? If you do, you should think about dedicated winter tires. If All-Season tires will suffice (only you can make that decision), the TOYO Proxes 4, and the Continental Conti Extreme Contact tires should do the job. Good Luck.

I recommend getting winter tires now and start saving for summer tires. All-season tires just don't cut it for me in the ice/snow and the difference is night and day.
I bought a set of 4 Dunlop Graspics from Walmart last year for CAD$300

I'll be dammed. Those Nokian WRA 4 seasons are actually rated as snow tires by Transport Canada.

i personally love my pirelli pzero nero(black)s because of everything about them. The treadwaer rate is 400 they are supposed to be reat in the snow(hasn't snowd yet) and they are excellent in rain and dry. These are like glue. and on top of all that, they are 100bux a tire. can't beat the price either

By the way, 205 barely fits on the stock wheel, but it plows through snow real nice.
