JCW All season tires for JCW Coupe..........
All season tires for JCW Coupe..........
I will have to buy a new set of tires in the next few months and I am thinking to go with all season tread non-run flats.
I will not drive extensively anymore and my office is now 3 miles from home. We don't have snow here during winter and I will not drive anymore on muddy roads. I believe all season could be a good option for me with mostly rain in winter.
I am thinking more about the Kumho, Falken or Hankook brands?

For my 2013 MCS I got a set of Conti DWS non-RFs all seasons that I use for 3 seasons, and then I have a set of studless winter tires for the winter.
I cannot recommend the DWS. Of the 4 tires I ordered, 2 would not properly balance. I had to get them match balanced on a road force machine, and the tire place that did that said that two of the four were bad and had to be replaced, as they had excessive runout force in both dimensions. 2 of 4! The tire is warranted by Conti, but there is a lot of effort in returning it, and no guarantee of a refund. Since I live in Alaska, this was going to be challenging. Tirerack was great though , and provided fantastic service. It still cost me some to get two new tires shipped, balanced and mounted, but much less than from scratch. Thanks to Tirerack! Now that I have 4 good tires, I do like them. Great traction in dry and wet, light weight. Better comfort than RFs. But I find 2 bad tires in 4 brand new ones unacceptable!

I have ordered a set of Falken Ziex 950. The reviews are outstanding for the W rated tires.
