Most of us have given up on 4 season tires for this area. Now is the time to pick up some stock rims and plan on putting snows on them in the fall, though there have been a number of deals on those recently and I have seen some on craigslist as well.

Unless your actually out of tread depth, below the wear bars and running slicks, I would not worry about tires until fall, being wary if we have a thunderstorm or such.

No first had knowledge, but as an avid observer... The TR test results for the conti are not bad. They have actually improved the tire since they introduced it years ago from what I can tell.

I have had both the ASXs and HTR+s they outscored in CR tests and beating them now impresses me. If I had to have a 4 season tire, the conti would be high on the list.
