Backstory -- I just took a 300+ mile trip during which: a) I ran over a 2x4 on the highway that a flat-bed tractor-trailer left for me, which bent at least one rim, b) I had to drive in heavy rain, which left me hydroplaning all over the place. My car is a 2005 Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon. I have two Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires on the front and two Conti DWS06 tires on the back. The Michelin tires are about 2 years old with a good amount of tread left, and the Continental tires are about 4 or so years old with an ok amount of tread but are starting to crack a bit. (Yes, I cheaped out and only replaced 2 tires previously...I will not do it again, I promise).
I'm thinking that it's time to replace all my tires, and I'm not sure which ones to choose. My thinking has been that I should have a good all-season tire since I want good dry and wet performance and acceptable snow performance (When it snows, I can generally choose not to drive. If I get caught in it, I'll make do.). The hydroplaning has me a lot more concerned with wet-weather performance.
The tires that I've been considering are:
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+
Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus
Pirelli P7 Cinturato All Season Plus
Bridgestone Potenza RD 980 AS
Any thoughts?
