    Re: summer tires

    I have always had all season radials on my car, since I bought it 17 years ago. Not the greatest in winter, but I always manage to get by another winter, year after year after year!!

        i rode all seasons on my rear wheel drive car, and truck. when i switched to front wheel drive, i needed winters cause it took me a long time to get familliar with FWD in the snow. i know everyone raves about it, but all I ever had was RWD, and when I got the jetta i found it impossible in the snow. now im hooked on winter tires.

        .. roger that on the early death with real summers

                s'what I have. little strange handeling on the dry roads (espesially if its warm out) but they are awsome in the snow/slush.

                    well, i really like them. granted I haven't tried many, but its day and night compared to all seasons. i find they handle slush well too, like when changing lanes on crowchild on the way to work

                            I am still running my 18's on my 337 but I am not driving it now the snow is on the ground. I run studded Hankook's on my GLI and they are awsome when the weather turns crappy.

                              Amusingly, my dad just bought a new car today (pontiac) and it came with Summer Ultra-high Perf tires! Bridgestone RE750's I think, pretty impressive for OEM. Kinda useless right now...
