Good tires?

M running 235/55/17 tires and am about to move to new jersey. My tired need replacement already and I'm more so looking for a good all season tire that can take the snow up there. Any suggestions?

Here's a suggestion, don't move to new jersey haha. Seriously though, just get a set of winter tires if you're gonna take it out in the winter.

I have to for work
And having the drive to work will be a likelihood that I will have to be in it.
Well having winter tires along with summer tires just doesn't sit right with me in having to continually swap tired. Id rather have an all season.
I am currently looking at these
falken azenis pt-722
Any experiences?

I would stay away from anything falken makes. Toyo, Michelin, Nitto would be my preferred brands. Really should check into a set of winter tires though. All seasons will not give you the best performance in any season honestly.

Ha ha +1
Youll be happier w/ two sets when u feel the difference. For A/S I look for best in snow/rain/ice; in a performance tire, I look for everything but those things, so it depends on what exactly you want (and have to spend). Tirerack.com is the best place to start for comparisons. Enter your tire size, read the reviews and definitely check out the testing results, most of which have a pretty fair range of tires.

P.S. the Michelin Pilots & Continental ExtremeContact were the best bad condition performers (all-season) on tr IIRC

I live 30 miles away from one of the big name drag strips and all the surrounding tire shops get a bunch if guys turning in used radials. I just picked up some used (70% tread left ) 285 35 18 drag radials for $35 each got to love Texas, radials year round

I picked up some Kumho Exsta +4's about 7 months ago and they are doing well. Just got done with a Chicago winter and they held up Nicely. The price was great from Discount Tire. I think after the discounts it was around $630.00.

My top picks and they get great reviews for decent performance all season..

Michelin pilot sport A/S plus

and the Continental Extreme DWS ( I run these on my MKZ and they are awsome but I would also run the pilot A/S)

you cannot go wrong with either, great tires
