I desperately need some new tires for my 02 wrx. im looking in the price range of about $600. I want an all seasons/performance tire. what do you guise suggest?

DWS if you want all seasons with some performance.

You really can't have the best of both worlds. What kind of driving are you doing?

on tirerack right now bfgoodridge has most of its tires in the 600$ range, but i only look at summer tires. For all seasons idk how much the cont dws go for, but from what i remember they're around 600, and last forever.

its my daily driver but i drive it hard on the weekends. i could go for a summer tire instead of all terrain.

There is

DW (Extreme Summer Performance)
*I've had 2 sets of these 17's and 18's*
-Decent treadwear
-Comes in a lot of sizes
-Price is pretty good
-Grippy for what they are

Cons
-Soft sidewall (sometimes felt a little "bouncy")
-I was able to reach max heat on them going 1/2 way up Woodside RD
-Really noisy if they wear wrong

DWS is a different tire it is an all season tire if you want to be able to go to the snow.


For the price range and size. You can probably look into some S-04s if you want a bit more performance out of the tire. Depending the Potenza 760s but they have a lower treadwear rating.

You're probably not looking at a Dunlop ZII, Hankook RS3, Federal 595 RSR range I'm assuming.

if it was my choice, i would just go with bfgoodridge summer tires. But i like bfgoodridge tires so i may be biased.

Nogledome

Eh unless they're rivals..... the sports don't like heat really.

I have DWS's with only a few hundred miles on them that I need to sell in that size. 99%+ tread
I haven't made a FS thread yet tho

they were on my impreza for a couple weeks before I bought my forester

i did a track day on the g-force comp 2's, and they held up pretty good. The KDW's are really nice and held up for a while. When im all healed up and with my new set of wheels ima try the rivals.

Ehhh the KDWs are noisy due to the tread pattern. They don't seem to last long either.
