Question all-season tires, what you will reccomend?

Hi everyone,

What all-season tires do you use?


I'm personally prefer Michelin, but it's out of my price range for 20" staggered rims.

I'm planning run on 265/50R20 front 295/45R20 rr setup.


So now I'm between:
Toyo Proxes ST II
( $618.96 shpd from treadepot.com)

Yokohama Parada Spec-X
( $647.80 shpd from TR or $600 ebay)

Something else?

Thanks

I'm currently running almost new Hankook Icebears on my 18" 5 stars. Basically a winter/all season. Nice roadfeel, and not too noisy. I may want to trade or sell for a set of 20s. (any recommendations) are appreciated.

I have the toyos and I have about 5,000 miles on them and they have been great. But I like the old tread design better.

The Toyo Proxy II's have been great for me. Great in wet weather and good in snow. They seem to wear well also. Presently using them on an 08 X5 4.8. an 06 X5 3.0. Will definately put them on my X6M when the time arrives to replace the runflat Bridgestones.

Yep, it what I herd about new Toyo Proxy II's, but previous Proxy has know noise problem with mileage.

Do you have 275/40R20 315/35R20 setup or different sizes?

My original 19" S/T's have been great tires and now have over 40k miles on them. However, they became very noisy after around 20k. I am going to go with the new S/T II's when these are shot.
