Recommendations for all-weather tires?

Hey everyone,

Can anyone give any recommendations on a good set of all-weather tires for the RX-8? Something decent but also won't tear apart my wallet

Thanks!

Thread about this below. Best bet BF Goodrich Comp TA KDW2's, maybe the Yokohama ES100's. Over at the RB event RX-tasy was there, he was from Oregon I think. He had the Yoko's on his car. Maybe if he is reading he can chime in.

I hear good things about Pirelli PZero Nero M+S. Supposed to be nice all-seasons, about $150 each on tire rack, not too cheap but should last.

I had the Pirelli P-Zero Rossos before. Pirelli makes a good, quality tire. The tread wear was much nicer than the previous Continentals that I had.

Toyo Proxes4 or Falken Ziex-512's. The latter is quieter, but the former corners a little better. The Toyo's are brand new, but the 512's are consumer report's top rated high-performance all-season.

But really, I'd recommend against all-weather tires. If you drive your car hard, you'll find they generally suck at everything.

I need all-weathers for Winter time because it gets pretty wet in Oregon
