tires for the X1?
Posted: Wed Feb 04, 2015 7:01 am
I'm getting ready to buy new wheels and tires for the wife's X1. She has picked out a nice set of wheels (she was pretty hyped about picking out wheels, I'm a very lucky guy ) now it's up to me to find tires.
I'm a bit torn on whether to get RFTs and the summer vs all-season choice. On one hand it's nice knowing that we'll never have a flat but RFTs are heavy and expensive. I talk myself into and out of RFTs every time I browse Tire Rack for tires...
Then there's the question of all-seasons or summer only tires. I plan on getting winter tires for the stock rims but it would be nice to be able to keep the "good" wheels on until I feel like swapping them (last winter it didn't snow even one time). It's not like the X1 needs Michelin Super Sport Pilot Cups.
Anyone have a recommendation for an all-season, semi-performance semi-comfort tire?
