I have enough with the stock tires, I am in central Jersey, looking for your input/s regarding best all around tires for dry/wet/and light snow conditions. I would really appreciate if you guys have your Tc s' for the past two winters with non-OEM tires to share your thoughts and recommendations. ThX!

 

That all depends on if you want more performance, or more comfort.


I pretty much stick with Goodyear's, BFG's, or Bridgestones. Naturally the more you spend, the better all around performance your gonna get. I would just go into your local tire dealer and talk to them, because it might be hard to find a good tire in the exact OEM size, but you have some room there to go a little higher or a little lower profile.

Doing reasearch there will go along way because they have all the materials and will be better able to tell you what will and wont fit.

 

Go with Avon Tech M550's. They're an Ultra-High performance All-Season tire and perform great in both Wet and Dry conditions. I have 'em and love 'em!

I used them over this past winter without any problems. They're not a snow tire but they grip really well.

 

Krdshrk: I usually read the bad review on tirerack user survey before I read the good ones. They have a few mentioning tire noise, premature wear, and poor grip in light snow. Well, since you are within the same zipcode and have the same car, that sure makes it more convincing. Thanks, I will give the Avon a shot!

 

Great! The wear's really good on them. ~15k miles and there's still at least 50% tread left... Noise is much quieter than the stock POStenzas, and if anyone says anything about the grip in light snow..... well.... they don't know how to drive.

 

krdshrk: I got the Avon tires, a local guy was gonna charged me 50bucks for mounting and balancing them.........but.......he is MIA, somewhere. Wondering how much you paid for installation and who done it for you around New Brunwick area? I am located around Piscataway.

 

I went to a sears and got them installed. Cost me closer to $100 i think.

Might want to try sears.. i don't know if the walmart in piscataway does tires. The sears (used to be kmart) in south plainfield might do it - i see their garage is open again.
