I'm hoping all of you Cayman owners can help me with a delema: My Cayman is a year-round driver and my rear Michelin Pilots have to be replaced with only 18,500 miles on them (and I'm really not that agressive).
Can anyone share experieces with All Season tires? I know I can buy a set of snow tires and swap them for the winter season, but I'd rather not make that investment. My local CJ's tells me that Michelin makes all seasn Pilots (AS) for the rear but not the front. I'm not so much concerned with brand (well, to a degree), but I really like the idea of an all season tire that might not perform at the level of my summer tires, but would do much better in the snow (these stink as you would imagine).
Here's my setup now: Front - 205/55 ZR17 91Y, rear - 235/50 ZR17 96Y
I have little tread left and the last thing I want to do is stick a set of summer tires on right before someone tells me where I can get a set of four all season performance tires. Thanks in advance for all your comments and I'll let y'all know what I end up doing!
