When I got my car it had summer tyres fitted, I knew I'd have to change them as it FWD but I had considered winter tyres but opted for all seasons as I didn't want to store wheels.
I chose the allseason contact because it was a manufacturer recommended brand and it had great reviews. I changed all four tyres at the same time and noticed a marked improvement in comfort and feedback straight away.
In the dry they are as good as any summer tyres when driven normally giving a planted dependable feel, driven with a bit of enthusiasm and you reach the limit quickly but they have NEVER let go. The same in the wet planted and dependable, excellent through standing water without pulling off course. It's in the snow that I found them outstanding, that planted feeling always there as if there was no snow on the road. Mileage I've gotten 26,000miles from the set periodically rotating them, tyres only last 7,000 - 18,000miles on my vehicle so I'm satisfied with that. The only thing that lets these tyres down for mileage is the rounded profile bringing the outside wear markers visible when there's over 4mm of tread left over the rest of the tyre. Excellent tyres I'd buy again and highly recommend. I'll never be buying summer tyres again.
