Is anyone familar with the Big-O Euro Tour tires? They carry them in the factory size and are also V speed rated. They seem like a nice tire and are priced around $110 a tire.

I've never been too fond of BIG-O personally. My suggestion would be Pirelli Pzero Nero. I've heard nothing but good things about them.

I went to the tirerack website to look at the Pirelli's and came across these:

Any comments on them? I'm looking for a good all season tire that I won't have to swap snow tires for in the winter.

I had a set of these (215/45/17) on my 1994 Honda Accord and they were great. The price is right, they were quiet, they balanced well and were pretty terrific in the rain and worked well in 3" snow (I can't vouch for heavy snow or ice pack north of the snow belt).

I had no complaints, but a friend of mine bought the same tires for his Hyundai Tiburon and he complained that they would flat spot after sitting for a couple of days and that would cause a steering wheel vibration until the tires warmed up a little (about 5 miles down the road). I never had that problem, so maybe is was unique to his set of tires or to his car.
