Can anyone recommend a good all around tire? I dont race and will never spend time on the track but want a good handling tire that also offers low noise and good tread wear. I would like to stick with the stock tire size of 205/45/17. I've been out of the street tire game for so long I have no idea where to start.

Thanks in advance

 

All season? any enthusiatic driving tendency?

Well, he lives near me in Issaquah WA, so yes, he'll want an all season tire . It rains alot here.

 

Enthusiatic? oh sure but it does rain here on occasion

 

Considering his sig how could he not drive enthusiastically? :smile:

 

2 words Toyo Proxes.

 

Look into a set of Perilli P Zero Nero M+S. I just got a set and so far so good. They received great reviews on Tire Racks site. I had to go up a size(215/45-17) but, there wasn't a big issue there. Thanks Alex. Check em' out.

 

Do you drive in snow?

How importand is comfort?

I have the toyo proxes 4 and they are amazing for a daily driver

 

It's sometimes hard to optimize handling and comfort with an all season tire.
205/45-17 really limits your choices. I'd recommend considering also 215/45-17 which can be used with your stock 17x7" rims just fine.

Worth a look at tirerack:
Avon M550 A/S 215/45-17 (Ultra high perf all season tire) $98 360 tread wear
Pirelli P Zero Nero M+S 215/45-17 (Ultra High perf all season) $116 400 tread rating (great consumer ratings and test results on tirerack)
