New all season tire recommendations

[Alpinesting]

Looking for a a good All Season tire for our GT2. It currently has the Michelen Pilot Sports from the factory and they are okay but where will live considering the weather we experience, and the condition of the way our roads have become, it just seems logical to move from away from the Pilots to more of an all season tread with a
less aggresive compound (HARD). Considering the Continental Extreme Contact AS , Pirelli P Zero AS 3 Plus or maybe even the Toyo Proxes AS. Any thoughts?

I am running Conti Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus and really like them.

For the semi-spirited driving I do with the car, they are more than adequate, thus no need for me to go all-out and get a high perf summer tire - which I do have on my P-cars.

Same. And these seem to be carried locally/in stock, so if there's ever a problem that requires replacement you'll likely be on the road sooner than later.

The DWS06+ would be better in light snow than the stock tires, but as you're hopefully aware any all season is less than ideal in snow/ice/severe cold, and especially any all season tire that boasts a hint of 'performance'. Several Stinger owners buy a cheap set of second rims and put snow/winter tires on those, swapping for the colder months.

Same here: Conti DWS06+ tires.

So far in rain they are good, and in sub 40F/4C with rain they are much better than the PS4S's, as well as being "good enough" to put through moderately-spirited driving in turns in the summer. I haven't tried snow, ice, or sub-32F/0C, and might not get a chance to because it's rare if that happens in my area.

Like what @stoopid said: if you do get ice/snow/very cold temperatures in winter regularly, your best bet will be getting cheap rims and a snow/winter tire and put them on in the cold winter months. If not--if the worst you get is sub 40F/4C, then so far I can say the DSW06+ tires work very well.

I'd say to search the forum for the hundreds of prior posts on the topic, but the search function doesn't work last I checked. Hurray we all get to discuss the same common questions a thousand more times.

Thanks for your replies. Sometimes tire companies put out better tires over time for specific cars so I aplogize. Thankfully, this car will most likely never
see snow or a lot of rain since its not a daily driver. It has become apparent after searching (tire reviews) and getting some imput from this forum that the
Conti is a good choice due to its availability locally. It does get cold here and we do get snow from time to time and that was my concern with the Pilots as they
are a summer tire with tremendous grip in warm dry weather but fall off when the seasons change. Thanks again for your input and experiences with this
question as we are new to this awesome car (which have been watching since 2018). We did the winter rims and snow tires with our 2000 Celica GTS and that
worked out great for many years. Still have that car but it was retired from that duty years ago as we were able to aquire an SUV.
