I have Nitto NT555 on mine....and it's awesome.
One of the biggest reasons why I bought the tire is because of the treadwear life....very high compare to other high performance tires. All season too!

Nitto NT450 is another option....

On the NT555, the specs mention wet and dry performance, but don't say anything about them being all-season. Do yours have the M+S designation on the sidewall?

The NT450 does appear to be an all-season tire.

Well....when I see "all-season"...I'm thinking of wet and dry only....cause we don't get snow in southern california.....you're right..NT555 does not have M+S.....but NT450 does.

Well, I don't know exactly what you mean by the above, but I can recommend Pirelli PZero Nero M+S as an excellent UHP-allseason tire.

I haven't tested it in snow yet, but I still have some Blizzacks for when it gets nasty.

Good luck.

I had Michelin Pilot Sport A/S on a Subaru WXR and Audi S4. I ran them in summer and in snow and was very impressed with them
