I think we should have a dedicated thread here on All Season tires what people have used and liked and would recommend using. We all know the Goodyear Eagle RS-A's aren't very good at all.

 

Conti ExtremeContactDWS

But all our tire talk is in the wheels/tires subforum

 

That's fine that its there but I'd rather have on specific to the 7th gen's not a mix of all

 

A good tire is a good tire regardless of what year it is mounted on.

 

Yup.

 

I've been wanting the Continental ExtremeContact DWS, but it's pretty much sold out everywhere here. TireRack says it won't be available until at least 12/21.

Discounttire.com won't let me pull up the tires on their website because they don't have a store that is within 250 miles of where I live. Bah! haha

I recently put Michelin Primacy MXV4's on mine. They are V-rated, just as the RS-A's were, but ride better and quieter.

I really wanted to like the DWS's, but picked the Michelins after hearing complaints of road noise on the DWS's from multiple sources after 15-20K.

 

yeah that is one of the negatives I have also heard about the DWS also some say they had to get new tires after the same amount..

 

If you don't want a SUPER performance allseason (like you don't do any snow driving really), check out the Michelin Defender tires. We'll be likely replacing my wife's Outback's old Toyos with those. plus, with an 80K treadlife warranty, can't beat that.

 

+1 I just put on my second set...got almost 120K out of them with 4/32 left. Of course, here in Florida we have two seasons...wet and dry. I was only in snow/ice once when I went back to the Ozarks to see the folks a year or so ago. They worked fine for me there too.

 

The Michelin's will most likely be the route I go thanks guys
