What are you guys talking about? I was obviously trying to powder coat my wheels and tires with mud. I think it turned it pretty good

Didn't last very long, it couldn't even handle a wash.

Go figure, if you found the chemical formula that would get it to stick on the tires, then Mike (Our fun & awesome expert powdercoater) would have some serious competition

you could retire happily rich ever after from that Shahid.

So after a quick inspection of my tires today I discovered that I have Yokohama Advan Sport summer tires on the front and Yokohama Advan S4 all season tires on the rear.

This may help explain the events described in this thread.

This now further complicates my tire buying decision for the summer. It also doesn't help that Im low on cash and quickly burning through my savings. Some advice would be appreciated. I've been thinking of getting all seasons to deal with rain and snow since I don't have any other car to drive. Also considering a set of 4 new hankooks since they're really cheap and last a long time. I'm not going to be hitting the track anytime soon, maybe just a cruise at the most (with VDC on

). Just need something for a DD that's cost effective but not complete Crap either. Also wanted to go a little wider with 245 on the front and 275 rear (stock sizes are 225 front and 245 rear) Here are my choices:

1) 2 advan s4 all seasons to match the rear = $350

2) 2 Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS pole positions as a better performing all season tire = $450

3) 4 Hankook V12 summer tires = $646

What do you guys recommend? I'm leaning towards the all seasons to help avoid any bad weather disasters.

+1 I would go with that option to address the most serious need first ; then worry about a fun set later

I agree. As this is your dd and we get at least a few snows/ices every year, I'd go all season.
