Default Re: Best All-around tire for all season use on the road

Personal preference only applies to politics.

I have been running the BFG A/T for the last few years. They are excellent when new, but like most tires, the compound hardens with use...they wear like iron but at the expense of wet/icy weather traction.

Many people have spoken well of the Revos.

I have not run the Michelin but I would trust DJ's recommendation.

Nokian makes an excellent tire for the road, but at the expense of faster tire wear...the compound is soft and thoroughly siped, their tires are intended for ice and snow. Traction is a function of compound, siping and channeling, their tires IMHO are second to none but you will pay a premium and you will replace them sooner. If I weren't jumping a size shortly, I'd run their new 315/75/16 in a heartbeat as a daily driver tire.

Get whatever will suit your primary need best...if it's pavement pounding on wet and icy roads, the Nokians will not fail you. If you travel offroad as well, the BFG (or similar) does the trick nicely at the expense of some grip in rain and on ice.
