All-Season Tires? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Little_Red_FR-S · 10-04-2012, 06:29 PM

I'm looking to get all-season tires for my FR-S and I've narrowed it down two brands. Bridgestone Potenza RE970 AS Pole Position or Goodyear F1 Asymmetric All Season. I'm mounting on stock rims. Any thoughts?

Which tire did you choose? I'm looking at the same two.

Thanks

Michelin Pilot Sports A/S also a quiete grippy great tire to consider.

Our Primacy HPs are fun during summer! Get a nice set of winter tires to go along with them and you'll be set.

Are you sure you'll be fine with all season in jersey?

I recently put Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 and it's really nice. Quiet, great dry/wet traction. It came out in this past summer, so there's no actual test on snow yet. I think this one should do better on snow than the Pilot Sport Plus, which is the latest UHP all season from Michelin.

Drove with Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires on my previous RWD cars in Chicago winters no problem, have the same tires on the FRS now.

Got these also. I also like them.

Buy dedicated snows for December through March. All season tires don't do anything well. You give up grip and braking in all situations (dry, wet & snow).

From all the reading I've done, here's my subjective rating of Ultra High Performance All-Season Tires, from a performance/price perspective.

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus 3
Continental ExtremeContact DWS
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric All-Season
Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS Pole Position
Hankook Ventus S1 noble2
General G-MAX AS-03

Speaking from experience, the Eagle F1 Asymetric's are great as long as you don't plan on driving in the snow. The DWS's worked pretty well on some snowy mountain roads while mounted to an RX-8.

My 255 width dws dont work in more than a couple inches of snow.
