just wondering what members are using in terms of your winter set-ups? I will be running M184 18"s and would look for non-RFs, i am thinking all-seasons as i would not be driving in heavy amounts of snow, no more that prob 2-3 inches and only a few miles back and forth under such situations, but we do get some ice as well... what do you all suggest???

For all-seasons, I honestly REALLY like the Pirelli PZero Nero M+S. It's inexpensive, wears well, handles well, and does very nicely in snowy conditions. No tire is really good on ice, but this does a good job.

The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S has been liked by other members.

Where can you get the Pirelli Zero-Nero Mud and Snow runflats????

R and T had great reviews of this tire in Nov 2005 and this may be the best compromise of performance and traction for those of us who deal with snow and don't want to swap tires with the seasons -

Tirerack sells the non-RFs of this tire -
