I just got a set of the Yokohama Avid Envigors and they feel great.

Tired of the short tread life on the Bridgestone RE760s

Going to bring this thread back...I have an IS350 running stock Turanzas (18s and staggered). I currently have 15k on them. I'm on Tire Rack and it seems that my all-season options are limited to:

Bridgestone Turanza EL400-02
Conti EC DWS
Yokohama AVID ENvigor
Kumho Ecsta

I'm located in NYC. If it snows really bad, I rarely drive. Snow is cleared pretty quickly so I really don't have to worry about the snow. But when I do drive in the snow, these tires are AWFUL. These tires are also pretty bad in the rain and pretty noisy. I'd like the convenience of not having to swap tires every season change. So with that said... do you guys have any more to add to that list for all-seasons?

Great link! Thanks for sharing, Kurtz.

I would go with the Conti DWS but there's also:
Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS Pole Position
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus
Pirelli PZero Nero All Season

I am riding on Hankook V12s and like them very much.

If you want cheap tires that is good for comfort and everyday use, V12 Evo is a good choice. However, if you are looking for ultimate grip, look somewhere else.
