I am looking to buy a new set of tires and was just curious if anyone has any opinions on what I should get I am looking for some all-season tires as I live in Kansas and we have all sorts of weather. I would like to spend under $850 installed, I can get them mounted and balanced for $50... I have been looking at the following:

Goodyear Eagle GT (turning away from these heard they are loud on highway and wear fast)
Nitto NT850 (currently running seems like a nice tire, I like them)
Nitto Motivo (is this just basically a newer nitto all-season couldn't find any review on these)
General G-Max AS-03 (don't know much about these)

or any other options...

Thanks for any help!

 

Continental ExtremeContact DWS

 

I 2nd the DWS's never had a tire last so long.

but they do have a soft sidewall, so corning is not as fun.

 

The GY can be noisy at times and do wear a bit quickly. Generals have been good thus far, but long term results are still out on that one. I would second the DWS option as those have been great on G's thus far. Plenty of time in the field so we know how they will perform. Call me when ready!

 

Buying a Set of DWS Continentals myself.. Good to know everyone is giving the thumbs up on this tire.

 

I went with general tires version of Continentals on mine. Owned by same company and fixed the sidewall problem of DWS. Had them almost a year now and hardly no wear even with me spinning my tires whenever i feel like it. Handling on dry is decent but wet handling is best in its class. Was going 90 plus in noreastern rain down the highway when my father in law was dieing trying to get my wife there. Never hydro'd once and made the trip from va beach to fredericksburg va in about hour 45 min in heavy traffic at that.

 

what brand are the generic versions of continentals?

 

I also recommend the conti dws. Great treadwear, great warranty, and great for snow and rain. Dry grip is not like a summer tire but I never had a problem. They are also usually pretty cheap

 

Goodyears, whether gt or f1 are horrible with limited life. Got the conti's up front with a fading pair of f1s in back. Thinking about trying something with a high tread wear rating for the back. Thinking Conti's but the place I get them from ran out with the dealer that can get them for $140 each. The next closest one wants $190 each. So looking at general or kuhmo decisions decisions.

 

I recently Bought some michelin primacy mxv4 and love them. I have an 03 sedan and not only do they ride and look nice, im pretty sure they increased my fuel economy a little as well. Im pretty crazy about how my gas milage is and these added almost 10-15 miles per full tank. I live in MI and have gone through one full winter with these and had no problems in the snow either. Hope this helps

 

Ended up replacing the GY F1s on the rear with General AS03. Completely different ride. Smooth quiet and great traction in wet or dry. The sidewalls are a little less stiff, but seems to have better cornering even with that. Great tire for the price!

 

Did you only replace the rears? I would suggest replacing the fronts as soon as possible with the AS-03s as well.

 

I didn't because I just replaced the fronts at the beginning of the year with the Conti DWS, however the place where I get my tires ended up being in back order and I needed the rears like two months ago.

 

Ahh I see... Well when you have the chance, switch either the fronts or rears with a matching pair.

 

Well I'm very happy with both, but this coming winter (If we get snow here in Indy) will tell me whether or not the generals will hold their own.
