Ok I'm going to throw my 2 cents in here.
All season tires are a compromise simple as that. They will never be as good as a winter tire in the snow or on ice nor will they be as good as a summer tire for all our handeling. If you can deal with that then there are some very good tires available out there like the BFG Comp TA's.
Any tire with a treadware rating over 200 or over should easily last 30,000 KM as long as the tires are properly inflated, rotated regularly and your alignment is within specs. If your car is dropped and you can't get around running lots of negative camber and some toe in then youâre going to burn the insides over the tires off much faster.
Good summer tires now I'm not talking about any R compound here; will be great in the rain and will be able to deal with standing water and will be quite. The lower priced "performance" tires tend to be hard making them noisy and usually proving a harsher ride.
I suppose it really comes down to your needs and your budget. If youâre looking for a cool tread pattern or to be able to say I have brand X tires on my car that's one thing, but if youâre looking for the best bang for your buck then it may not be a "summer" tire that you want an all season may work.
Reviews of my tires I had on my Focus. All were 225/35/18
Toyo FZ4 Average
Yokohama Parada Good grip but noisy
Goodyear Eagle F1's Amazing grip
Yokohama AVS Sport Amazing grip level soft sidewall
BFG KDW Average
Kumho MX Good grip level but noisy
This information maybe useful or not but it gave me something to do while I ate my lunch.
