Whats a good all season rubber with good performance to switch to? Thanks. 03 track edition with stock track wheels.

 

There are several all season threads on this page. Please look before posting.

 

If you are expecting to get by in the snow on all seasons in Washington, I would have money saved up for some potentially expensive body repair.

 

Yes, another winter in Seattle where I get to watch all the idiots try to drive down a hill covered with snow.

 

Having made the opposite change you are making (WA to AZ), I can tell you that you may underestimate the weather conditions in certain parts of WA. If you're going to be anywhere around Seattle I would say that A/S tires will probably not be enough in the winters. There are extreme inclines that are completely covered in ice and snow. There are videos on YouTube of cars just flying around the roads, bashing into eachother, even 4x4 trucks and SUV's.

Drive carefully, very carefully.

 

I lived in Michigan majority of my life(17 years) so Im familiar with Washington driving and I was stationed in Washington so im familiar with the weather. I guess Ill look into a decent winter set. I looked at posts and not really looking for all season, was probing for Pacific Northwest Z Drivers. Where is that post at?

 

Thanks to all who replied and to those who will in advance.

 

I should of typed winter/snow tire. Been in the desert past four years going back to where they actually have seasons.

 

FWIW, I run a dedicated winter setup from Dec-mid March, and I've never had troubles in snow while watching others slip and slid all around me.

 

RWD performance cars need dedicated snow tires for the short time we have snow/slush. Add the hilly terrian and anything but snows will leave you stranded. Don't learn the hard way, listen to the guys that are from the NW.

I'd much rather have summers/snows than try to eek out the season on all seasons (and suffer the performance compromises a/s typically have for 11 months out of the year)

 

Snow tires it is. Im going to have an issue finding some cheap rims to clear the brembo's right? Oem z wheels wont fit correct?

 

They do fit.
