Hot or Not? (UPDATED!!)

All weather tires = crap.

Sucks in rain, sucks in snow, sucks in dry (compared to summer tires in dry and wet, and compared to snow tires in snow)

Good point.
However I drive on freway 98% of the time. (everyday 30 miles on freeway) here in LA on 101 and 405. I have exactly 4 turns on that road
i do ocassionaly go to mammoth, big bear but i do SF and Las Vegas way more.

Bottomline: i need a tire that lasts, is more than decent on dry roads and kinda decent on wet roads. None of the summer tires have a UTQG rating over 340. infact 340 is the extreme, most of them are 200 or 220.

low UTQG = less tread life, though more grip.

i am ready to sacrifice a bit of grip for a great tread life. ContiextremeContact has UTQG of 400 . the way i drive, it should atleast last me 55K + unlike my protenzas which go bald in 35K (they have a UTQG of 160!!!

I've heard good things about the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S for all season. (of course not as good as real summer tires) They also have 400 treadlife rating.
