I might even say this about my girlfriend who doesn't put a premium on performance, and might be better off with a winter tire... but for me... someone seeking the best dry performance, a winter category tire isn't the best option.

My entire intention here is to help people open their eyes to what is the best choice for them. Tire companies are working to get people out from just running their Touring category all season tires all year. My contention is people are getting caught in the marketing hype and many times are not picking the best performing tires for how they use their car the majority of the time.
Our continent. david in germany doesn’t mean david from germany.
