Install Powerflex poly and you likely will never have to touch them again. And if you do, lifetime warranty.

That's a seriously sticky tire --you don't see that sort of tire put on SUVs very often stateside.

Except on my car. I use Dunlop winter tires year 'round. At least three times specifically avoided a minor accident because of it so I'm never going back to 3-season tires. Winter tires grip better all times at the expensive of wearing quicker. Costs less to replace more often than have a secomd set and I get silly levels of cornering capability not to mention stop before the back seat of the guy who just panic stopped in front of me on oily city pavement.

Actually, it's not commonly known, but most summer tires will outperform any all-season tire even in heavy rain and standing water.
For example when Edmunds tested summer, winter, and all-season Michelin tires against each other, the all-season was actually the slowest tire in the rain, by a large margin. That particular test drew the strong conclusion that anyone who never sees snow should always buy summer tires.

I buy them used. 70% tread 70% discount. (between $350 and $450 a set). In five years bought only one replacement set and two additional tires between both cars.
I regularly leave sports sedans in the dust on 270 off ramps. Clearly they *could* keep up with me but past the driver's comfort level. Rated 25 I come in at 45-50 and maintain 35-40. The best way to describe the extra grip was the first time I drove a friend's x5 I went to show him the method I use to maximize speed on 270s I drifted the entire time going at least 5 mph slower than usual. I know that some summer tread are better for hot dry but add six days of no rain in Chicago and my tires are much better. Or; rain plus leaf = ice levels of traction. Like I said I've gotten used to the better traction and no way I can go back.
