Well, the weather got nice after I got the tires/wheels!! LOL! They make a little bit more noise then the stock tires did.
I drove for aboot 20k before the TPMS light came on. I need to go see the dealer to get it in sync with the new sensors.

Depends where you live dude?
We got hammered by two big snow storms last year and this year I need to cross the Cascades and Rocky Mountains. All weather tires won't get you over the passes. AND the cops won't let you over the passes either using all weathers.

Default Hankook H727

Well after only 60,000 km (37,000 miles) I had replace the OEM Eagles. Even though they had some tread left on them, they were getting a little sketchy on snow and ice. I had been researching replacements for a few months and finally decided on the Hankook Optimo H727 all seasons (based on CR review - Nov. 2009). Up here in Canada, they came to $960 all-in! Ouch! And if you think that is a lot to pay, I was quoted over $1200 for Triple Treads! The price to pay for those pretty 18 inch wheels I guess.

According to CR, they are the best all season tires for "all weather" conditions. They even rate higher than some dedicated winter tires on snow and ice. For the conditions here in southern Alberta, they seem to fit the bill. To test CR's conclusions, I decided to head over to a local iced up abandoned parking lot and test them out. WOW! At 50 km/h on glare ice the ABS only kicked it at the last second. Compared to the old tires (tested the previous night) they stopped a lot sooner. Even just driving around on the ice, I had to really try to get the traction control to engage. So far, seat of pants is telling me I made a good choice.

If you looking for a all-weather tire, give these a try.

Default Nokian WR G2 SUV

I have had a set of Nokian WR G2's on since December and they are brilliant. Ride quality has improved and grip in the ice slush and snow is great. I can recommend them.

Default Dunlop Signature

I just replaced the POS OE LS's after only 21,000 miles on my 08 XLS. The wear and roadnoise was terrible. Worst of all the performance in snow anywhere from a fraction to inches was dangerous. I live in PA and have experienced a fair amount conditions requiring the tires/vehicle to perform.

After a fair amount of research I found Dunlop Signatures that met/exceeded all OE requirements. So far with the recent storms I will give them a A+ rating on performance. Not only did they handle the snow well they are great on the highway and I only paid 69.00 each. I was originally told by my dealer that we not available but after some prodding he researched some more and found Dunlop just introduced this size late last year and was not in his catalogs.

I just purchased some Hankook H727's for the wife's Outie. Car is much smoother over the cracks and little bumps, where the oem goodyears made your teeth fall out. We had a little snow today and I purposely drove through it and under full throttle. No wheelspin at all! I'm impressed so far with these Hankooks. They also balanced out very easy.

Try Factory Tire on Martin Grove http://www.factorytire.net/

Great price and great service.

I got Goodyear Assurance TripleTred from them and they are awesome. I suspect they are just what you're looking for.
