Tire question (All Season): What are you running on your LS8? Do they perform well?

Personnally I would go with a dedicated summer tire and a dedicated winter on some steel wheels. But thats me...

In Toronto I would say the Continental ContiExtremeContact for a high performance all season. Personnally I would go with a dedicated summer tire and a dedicated winter on some steel wheels.

They give up a little in dry traction in exchange for better snow/ice performance.

They are ranked 3rd on Tire Racks Ultra High Perfomance All Season chart.

I generally buy my tire from Tire Rack, but even if you don't It's a free site that you can compare tires at will and read what others have to say about any that you are interested in.

I do prefer summer tires but sometimes I procrastinate in putting the winter tires off until December and we can get snow in November so prefer not to take the chance. Summer rubbers no good at 0 celsius either even if it's dry.
