If I lived in Michigan or some place that it snows a lot, I would have no hesistation in buying Winter Tires, but here in NJ, the winters seem to be very mild (Knock on Wood!) and it's like I am in that gray / middle area of not sure if I need them or not.
I do know getting stuck in a snow storm on the way home from work or something like that with summer tires is going to do no one any good!
Are you saying your Blizzaks (which Model) don't work that well for you? I think we all need a secondary 4 wheel drive car!

man i love these tires. one thing i love about them is that they last for quite a long time, not like the normal lo-pro tires that go for like 15k miles. and they handle great and ride great too!

This is what I am experiencing now. Great handling (probably not as good as a summer tire still, but very good for me). The long tread lifetime was also a plus in addition to the many other features this tire has.
Good choice on your part too!

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S HIGHLY recommended for all-season tire, I'm running 245/45-17. I do not agree that they are noisy - they are quieter than the stock Bridgestones. My Bridgestones whined a lot, drove me half nuts (still halfway to go to be certifiably crazy, but I'm workin' on it...). The Michelins seem to be the perfect tire for mixed weather areas. (I have Pirelli winter tires too, but I'm not using them this year, so far been OK with the Michelins.)
Nice pics, Lexguynj.

For an Ultra Performance All Season Tire you can not go wrong with the Michelins - only issue is that they are most costly then others out there.
Thanks for the compliments too Engin_ear - I really should still get new rims!

The stock 17" rims actually are not bad at all. I just need a change to some 18s. Yours looks great!

STOCK 17S
GREAT FEEDBACK, IM IN THE MARKET TO GET SOME NEW TIRES FOR MY STOCK 17S. THE STOCK LOOK IS WHAT I LIKE. 17S ARE BIG ENOUGH. SAY NO TO 16S. HAHA...NICE PICS...YOKO AVS DB ARE QUITE, BUT WEAR OUT WAY TO FAST UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.
