    Hey all, I have to make a trip up to St.Louis for Thanksgiving and my current tires aren't going to make the trip. I live in Savannah so the only weather I usually see is rain sun and more rain but there's a good chance I'll see some snow on the way up. I've been browsing tirerack for awhile for a all season tire and I've narrowed it down to...

    Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position 245/50/16

    Bridgestone Potenza G019 (they don't have 245/50/16 in these so I'm not sure what size to get)

    General Altimax HP 245/50/16

    Price is an issue but I'll splurge a lil bit for tires if I have to. I drive a 2000 GTP stock besides a 108 temp but I plan modding it in the future. Any input is appreciated.

    I have Potenza's and love them. They have great wet and dry traction but I'm not sure about snow since nobody knows what that is here in Fl.

    Seriously though, I've always liked the BFGoodrich Traction T/A V-Rated 225/60/16. Great all season performance tire IMO.

    Ultimax are worthless, Go with either the Traction T/A's, the Potenza Pole Postion (sweet ass tires!) or the Yokohama Avid V4S (best mileage of the 3)
