All-Season Tires For Stock 17" Sport Wheels
I'm replacing my stock Goodyear RS-A's with another All-Season performance tire, and staying with my stock 17" wheels. What are you guys running, and what are you experiencing as far as wear, traction & road noise? I am seriously considering the Avon M550 Tech tire in a 235/50-17 size, but am open to suggestions. Bang for the buck is important to me!
This has been kicked to death, but please help me!!

I am going to try the Kumho ECSTA ASX 235/50 17's. Specs & reviews look great, and they only cost $106 a tire. Check them out on www.tirerack.com .

I just put on a set of Avon Tech M550 A/S on my '00 300M and they are a big upgrape from the Goodyear Eagle LS I had on. I replaced the factory Goodyears with Michelin Pilots and they were fantasic, but only lasted 26K miles. I put back the factory Goodyears after the Pilots wore out and the car floated on the road, unlike the Pilots that gripped the road! The Avons M550 are a step down from the Michelin Pilots in grip, but at a great savings on price! All I want from these tires is to last 35K miles then I will happy!
Note: My size 225-17-55 were listed on Tire Racks site as "W" rated (as all the M550 were), but they arrived as "Z" rated. I was fine with that!

Is the Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position A/S a better tire?

You might want to look at a set of Toyo proxes TPT, they are an all-season tire.
I put a set on my car, 235/50/17. They have a 65,000 treadwear warranty.
I believe that my car handles just as well as when the oem Turanzas were on it. Turanzas were almost bald at 10,000 miles.
here is a link

Oh, by the way, I paid $507 for the 4 tires with an alignment at TirePros.
