Welcome to NICO Chiapet!!!

zerothread/108009

Check out that thread for some memeber recommended tires.. Granted, a lot of the tires in that thread are summer tires, however there are some good all seasons in there too....

We are VERY picky about our tire choices so you can rest assured if something in there comes recommended, its going to be a good tire...

If your looking for a fairly quiet tire, rule out any directional tires.... You can control ride comfort by optimizing the pressure.

But my directional and asymmetrical PS2 are the quietest tire I have ever experienced.

All Season is a marketing euphemism for compromised summer tire and not very good winter tire.

If you are in snow country, get one tire for each condition, or drive compromised.

Plenty of threads to view here, so dig in. Start with tire and suspension posts by Q45tech.

My directional Bridgestone G009s are remarkably quiet and smooth, the smoothest I've ever had.

I was under the assumption that he would not spend that much on tires.... They probaly dont make them in suitable sizes for 16s anyway....

I totally agree, get summer and winter tires!

agreed,,only ONE way to get the best of both worlds----1 set for warm weater, another set for cold (snow). 99.9% of "all season " are designed for mediocre performance in all conditons. do you want great winter tires,,,,,BUY THEM! YOU WANT great summer tires??,,,buy them. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. SWAP OVER WHEN THE WEATHER CHANGES and have the best rubber on your car all the time. NO OTHER WAY!!!! check out tire rack (i'm passionate about this because i've seen it both ways!)
