Touring vs. Touring & Sport

I just have one question. What is this "all season tire" you speak of? LOL suckers move to the desert.1 tire type and rain 10 days a year. Come on why have to drive in that terrible white stuff. In regards to the package it really depends on your intentions, not everyone on here is going to the track weekly. I choose to get it because I think the performance and styling were well worth the additional $. I probably wont see a track ever but there are a ton of empty open roads to play on out here.

I started a recent thread over in the Tech Area / Wheels & Tires, about my upcoming set of tires. With 8K on the car, some wear is apparent but I'm sure I'll need a set to replace the Yoko Advans by end of summer.

One terrific reply I got was from a person in Philadelphia who faced the same circumstances but got his all-seasons 20mm wider in front, 30mm in the rear. The highest-rated rubber by tirerack.com, Conti's "Extreme Contact DWS" with treadwear rating 540. And another great feature about this tire is its bidirectional -- you can swap left-to-right, so it helps on the even wearing.

I don't know if there's rubber like this available for the 19s, but I'm almost looking forward to wearing out my OEM rubber at this point. Tires are the single biggest change you make to improve a car's performance, and unlike a CAI or high-bypass exhaust, everyone has to confront it at one point or another.
