5throw Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Looking for a good Allseason 225/40/18 for some 18X8 Rota P1's. I dont want to spend a ton of money but want a decent tire. Thanks in advance for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habitual Line Stepper Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I had BFG G-force supersport a/s in the size that you are looking at. They never did wrong by me.

rubberman Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I have Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires on my stock rims. They've done really well with my Stage II LGT and the wear has been good also. I just ordered new 18" rims and picked up the new Pilot Sport A/S Plus version in the same size that you are considering from Discount Tire. They had a $70 rebate going. These will cost more than the BFG's mentioned, but both are good A/S choices. I can also send you a coupon for a $60 rebate on a set of 4 Michelin tires, shoot me a PM with your name/address if you'd like me to mail you one.

Spoonwacker Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 ContiExtreme Contacts if you want something to get through relatively serious snow. NOT Pzero Nero M&S for snow...

krzyss Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Falken 912's...dry and wet grip is great for an A/S, snow raction is average. Price is awesome. I have read that snow traction is poor and CR rated them as almost 3 season tires. What do you compare them to for winter traction? Krzys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver03 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 kumho ASX...dont last super long, but good bang for the buck. I have some in 225/40/18 and I'll get one more summer out of them...bout 35k miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec B Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I have read that snow traction is poor and CR rated them as almost 3 season tires. What do you compare them to for winter traction? Krzys They are probably comparable to the RE92s in the snow..I never drove it anything deeper than 1 or 2" though. They never seemed dangerous...just about average IMO.

__raj Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Falken 912's...dry and wet grip is great for an A/S, snow raction is average. Price is awesome. I know two owners who drink Consumer Reports kool-aid and bought these as they were rated "best". Both are seriously disappointed with them on their Accord's and Camry when they hit about 15k-20k and the tire noise significantly increased. They did say excellent tires initially though which makes sense why so high rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec B Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I have only had them for about 7-8000 miles (2 winters) and they have not gotten any louder. I think for the price, they are pretty awesome. I read some reviews on this forum and most if not all have been pretty happy with them..including me. I never heard of the tire noise issue..

Its such a bummer. Report back when you hit 15k - 20k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash75 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I ran the Bridgestone RE960 A/S on my 18" Rotas and loved them. The tire is very small though, I ended up with 245/40/18. Even got more than 40k on them! They are AWESOME in the wet, and ok in the snow. I have Michelin Pilot Sport A/S on 17s now and am very impressed so far...
