Hello all. I'm trying to cut down the number of wheel/tire sets I'll have for this car from a projected 5, so I'd appreciate any help.
I don't normally run all-season tires,I usually have winter, summer,late fall/early spring sets. In this car, I'll add a track set and probably need a road-trip set. I'm thinking of combining some of those.
One option is combining a 'late fall/early spring' set with an efficient road-trip tire set. I currently have Michelin PA4 for the former (on top of full-winter set), and don't have a road-trip set since my car came with 20" summer tires.
Efficient all-seasons with some snow/ice grip for that stray November/March snow storm should work on some Fastev EV01(+) 18" wheels with aero covers installed for road trips.
Any tire suggestions? All I can think of is DWS 06, but that's probably not an efficient tire.
I hear A/S 3+ has *more* snow/ice grip than A/S 3 (which I've had in the past), but not by much. I'm not averse to running non-OEM sizes as long as they aren't too different. And going for efficiency probably precludes tires wider than 245mm.
Any other suggestions? I've seen some reports on Vredestein Quatrac being decent in the snow, but not much about its efficiency. What else is there to consider that's at least somewhat performancy?
Thanks!
