I need help choosing new All Season Tires. Currently on Michelin Defender. Considering:
1. Michelin Defender T&H
2. Pirelli Curato P7 All Season Plus II
3. Continental Control Contact Tour
4. Bridgestone Truranza
I live in near Chicago, with its cold, snow and rain all being a factor in my choice. I do not run winter tires. I appreciate your thoughts. Testing at Tire Rack shows the Pirelli, Continental and Bridgestone performing better in snow than the Michelin. In view of recent winter weather, any recommendations.
Best,
Bill

+1+1 I have the Quattrac Pro's on my 06 LS430. They are quiet, grip well on dry roads, rain, light snow and have the winter triangle rating. All of this and they are about $140.00 each from Tire Rack. Try them, you will not be sorry!

I have P7 plus on my car and got caught in some light snow and they are pretty bad. I have dedicated snow tires since Canada lyfe.
I had conti extreme contact DWS before on my GS and they were ok in snow maybe consider those.

I just had a set of P7 Plus 2’s put on my 04 LS. Rides great. Got the H rated version. A little smoother and quieter than the 1st version I had in V rated.
the II’s scored highest in Tirerack’s recent testing:

With the P7's the traction control will even kick in on a wet road in the summer. I have a pretty light foot.

I really like the Continentals, I have yet to encounter snow or ice with them. They are quiet, and handle really well. I had Michelin prior, the continentals are quieter.
