Finalized the deal today, only problem is the 275 45 20s are a summer, anyone put any all seasons on the vehicle, it is slim selection on tirerack.

 

My advice is to use winter tires/ summer tires.

 

I like the Pirelli Scorpion Zero Assimetricos All-Season tires. Good balance of wet, dirt and dry capabilities. If you need a snow tire, there is the Scorpion Ice and Snow. I like Pirelli tires because they are a good value.

 

+1 if you want to go for performance
however, if you are located in mild/warm climate all seasons will probably be fine year round

 

Agreed. Give me a call, I'd be glad to help.

 

alright anyone selling another set of sport technos

 

I just installed Michelin Latitude Tour HP, and they ride great. Compared to the Pirelli Rosso, the ride is supple, handling is good for an SUV. I don't push it too hard in my CTT so I am not sure how grippy but on a nice sweeper they seem to hold the road well.

 

I have a set of 20" sport technos. Two are perfect, two have some scratches. They have titanium accents. They are just taking up space in the garage so I'll sell them cheap. PM for details if interested please.

 

also considering the continental latitudes, but looks like the avon tech st are better rated...anyone have experience with those?

thanks

 

I have been driving in michigan snow for the past month with new Cooper HT plus... out the door for $400 bux and great on road noise and great in the snow... ALL Season Tires that are great and good priced

 

I run Yokohama Avid SUV on my Range Rover and they are a great all round tyre....

 

anyone try the latitudes when replacing the diamaris in 275/40 20?? they are similarly prices just wondering...... also i was considering going to 315/35 on the rear staggered setup. They are the same height just wider, Anyone??

 

I just put new Yoko Parada all seasons on my Techno's a few weeks ago. I don't notice much difference from the Diamaris on dry surfaces but the Yoko's just helped me drive everywhere in the 8" of snow we received this weekend. I'm very happy with my purchase.

 

+1 on Yokohama Parada X.

Where do you live? Are you going to see any snow? If so, how much? The Parada X's are very affordable in terms of price, above average in the snow, and still good in the summer. A pretty good compromise tire.

just put parada spec x 275 45 20 on my '06 turbo s. i haven't had experience with snow yet but they're much quieter than the diamaris i replaced. I've only had the car a few weeks so not a good judge of differences in handling characteristics but i quiet and comfortable ride along with northeast weather conditions was more important to me than maximizing dry weather handling. I use normal ride setting 90% of time and sport the remainder. tried comfort but found it a bit too bouncy where i drive. good luck
