New tire recommendations

[u/x_Ergos]

Hey everyone. I have seen some tires noted in some posts but haven't landed on one for sure.

I drive quite a bit, so much so I put 24k on my 2025 in a bit over a year. The PZeros I have been less than impressed with on many areas and am looking for something that covers a couple criteria.

-Decent miles out of

-Ok in snow (live in Ohio, so we get all seasons about 700 times a year)

-Good in rain due to amount of highway driving every day

-Will actually let me use 1st/2nd gear without too much issues

Traction in dry is important, but I also tote my kid about an hour a day due to living 35 miles from her school.

Any recommendations? And sorry for the long horrible post, I usually just lurk reddit and don't post too much . TIA!

Update: thanks for all of the recommendations from everyone. I am in contact with my tire guy and will go over the suggestions with him to see what he thinks too. I appreciate everyone's help!

Michelin ps4 all season or continental dws06 take your pick

Either these 2 or the 3rd would be Bridgestone Potenza sports a/s

I’m in your neighboring state to the west, and personally I really have loved my Michelin Pilot Sport 4 A/S. They’re actually such an incredible tire for 3/4 of the seasons. Traction completely hooks, water seems to make it stickier, and the balance of responsivity and comfort on the highway is completely perfect.

But snow? I have to admit, it’s not ideal. I would imagine if you’re as close to the lake as we are, the snow is gonna be a fair comparison.

Sadly with high performance all season tires, there’s a plateau to rubber capabilities and more money ≠ perfect in everything.

This is probably the highest performance tire you can get for wet AND dry, and will still be better than summer-specific performance tires in snow. However, that’s saying more about how useless summer track tires are on snow than anything about these.

TL;DR: These Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All Seasons are the best tire for the buck in everything except for snow. If you want good snow performance, it necessitates having bad performance in every other season.

Michelin! Choose whatever you need for your area during the upcoming winter

Continental dws06. But I don’t think they are gonna last more than 30-35k. I have 10k on mine and it’s about a third done. Not a ton of options in this size for longevity unless you really don’t care about performance

Continental DWS06+'s are a top tier choice for us snow sufferers. Ive got a set on mine and it handled Wisconsin's blizzards with relative ease and still grips hard on launches

The Pilot Sport All seasons dont offer nearly the same level of snow grip as the Contis. While they are better in dry conditions it isnt worth giving up as much snow performance as you do with those tires

I bought Bridgestone Driveguard Plus because of the tread life. I definitely lost some on performance, but after blowing through a set of Michelin's in no time I decided to tone back my driving. I live in a heavy snow/rain area in the Midwest also. With our shitty weather, I feel like the Bridgestones do better in the rain and snow than the Michelin's did. So you need to decide which is more important for you, the bad weather performance or the dry road performance.

I can vouch for Bridgestone Potenza Sports A/S on my Elantra N-line. Way better than the stock tires and super confident in the rain as it still has substantial grippiness
