I've been seeing ads and articles on how good these A/S tires are and was wondering if anyone had personal experience with them. Tire Rack survey ranking does not place them near the top of their category but that doesn't really mean much. The tire could be a sleeper. BFGoodrich seems to think they are pretty hot.

Wow. Thanks. Beside the video there is a ton of charted data that breaks it all down between the top 4 brands of A/S tires. Kinda mind boggling. And like they say its up to you to decide which aspects of the tire are most important to you since they vary by test and tire.

The BFG is a standout in the dry but lacks most in the wet. But what is not charted are the prices and without checking all 4 brands I would guess that the BFGs are the lowest priced. I would also venture to say the more expensive tires are probably the roundest of the group.

The BFG site that I originally posted has a video with Tommy Kendal supporting the BFGs. It also a snow performance video. I'm looking for my daughter, who lives in Atlanta, where there is a bit more snow than here. Atlanta also hills everywhere, some fairly steep and long.

Thanks for the heads-up reply.....Frank

I think the best street A/S seasons will be the Conti DWS. I base this on their superior wet traction as best shown in the spider charts. Those spider charts are a great aid. They lay the data out of all the tires tested in a very clear way.

Is anyone running the Conti DWS tire and care to comment on your experience with them?
