I am going to have to throw some tires on the stock 17s.... I am wondering what any of you guys have to say for decent tires? I want to buy aftermarket wheels/tires eventually but its not in the cards now. BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDWS are one I am looking at but may be too pricey. I have Generals on the car now, what was on when I bought it. I'd like something that is good in all weather but still some grip for the twisties. I do drive in snow so anybody with advice there chime in. I wont be buying snow tires in addition so no need to ask :p Tips? Good reviews on tires?

I have Continental ExtremeContact DWS's that have been through a couple of snowy winters...I just toss some weight in the trunk and I'm good to go. They are a little pricey (but cheaper than the KDW's I believe) so maybe have a look at them.

There is always good and bad opinions to even the what is considered the best performance tires. Right now I am interested in General Tires G-MAX AS-03 because of the snow here but your limited in size. I can find several options for the front wheels but limited for the rear 17X10.5/315's.
I don't know anything about how they perform but the NITTO INVO sure looks pretty.

Yes i DID read and was making a suggestion of looking at whats out there sometimes you can find people that are selling stuff for less then the price of what your talking about doing.. Ive had those pirellis on 2 different mustangs and they have come out great. Your asking for a tire that will be good in the turns well in the summer your looking at 200 degrees plus in the winter were snow falls those types of tires will turn to hard plastic and will last you close to nothing and have issue with cracking and so forth. All season tires will be in the middle and the best for what you are looking for but then again they wont last more then a few winters and will start to shread when you start having fun in the summer. If you drive a mustang in snow you might want to spend the few extra $ on something that will be decent in the snow or best have full coverage.

Why are you such a douche? You asked for all weather tires and said you drive in snow, and the guy hooked you up with a link to a pretty well-regarded all-season tire and you get all salty. WTF man?
