help need tire advice for a 2.5i
hi guys im looking for a all-season touring tire that has stiff sidewalls for good steering response and something that can perform in wet and light snow. I have Michelin primacy mxv4 on my TL but as good as that tire is in winter it's horrible in dry steering/handling department.
so far i have found bfgoodrich advantage ta to be the best replacement (i was advised by tirerack). they are H rated tires. some also advised yokohoma envigor tires but from reviews i gathered envigors lack wet/light snow traction. Someone said something about pirelli p4 but they are only T rated tires which means soft sidewall and bad steering response right? are bfgoodrich advantage tires my best bet? any suggestions or alternatives? http://www.bfgoodrichtires.ca/tire-s...a/tire-details

snow tires benefit from softer sidewalls, there are plenty of summer tires that can handle the wet just fine, but have a temperature threshold which will make them harden up. |

do i have to buy tpms sensors?
also i have been quoted 700$ inclduing installation and balancing for pirelli p4 91H and the BFgoodrich tires mentioned above. i will probably be choosing the pirelis. Last edited by Pickler; 10-27-2012 at 12:35 PM. |

Last year I installed a set of the Bridgestone Potenza RE960A/S on my Impreza and was really pleased with them. They were quiet on the road and gave good grip when driving in the wet and snow last season.
I believe Bridgestone has replaced them with the RE970 now. |

The Pirelli P4's are made in China, or Brazil if that matters to you....Michellin mxv4's are made in USA or Canada. Just something to think about, I almost went for the P4s and ended up buying the MXV4's, no way was I going to run Chinese made tires.
