All season Tires for A Volkswagen Rabbit

[Crm7290]

Hey guys, I have seen all of the threads about truck tires but here is one about passenger car tires.

Im looking for four all season tires that will not break the bank. Looking to spend around 400 dollars on them. The size that I need are 205/55-16.

I took my car in for an oil change up in Burnsville today and they called me in immediately saying that my tires were low on tread and offering discounts on tires. I said no thank you and all that. The mechanic spun the front passenger wheel forward to reveal metal sticking through. I didn't know they were that far down, all I had seen prior was that I was down to the wear bars. I had them put on the full sized spare got my oil changed and left.

Im heading back to Winona tomorrow and will be getting some new tires as fast as possible. Do you think Fleet Farm has a good all season tire for me? I put in a quote to tire rack of Winona and will see what they come up with for me.

Thanks in advance

P.S. attached is a picture of the old tire...

I bought coopers at ff for our accord. They seem to work fine so far. Good price. Fleet card application is 10 percent plus they had a buy 3 get 1 deal. Road runners are coopers in drag so that works too.

Tiger paw touring if available in that size. I have never had a problem with them and have always been impressed with the traction.

Goodyear assurance touring. Can't complain about that one either.

Dunlop signatures. A pretty decent budget tire.

I'd stay away from road runners. You'll never get the mileage out of them.

I know you do not want to spend the money but i have been running Pirelli P4 all season tires for almost 8 years now. If you rotate every 2500-3000. you will get max life out of these tires. I sadly do not rotate much I love these tires!!!

on my second set of tires since I put them on when I got the car

I researched this last fall, same price range, best tire for snow/ice and decent mileage rating. Ended up with the Hankook Optimo. Consumer Reports ranked them 2 or 3 right behind a Michelin that was quite a bit more expensive. They were the top ranked tire for snow/ice regardless of price. I think they are rated at 80,000 miles. I can attest to the snow traction, they have been great this winter. Too early to tell on tread life, but they are quiet and handle well. I put them on a minivan. I got them through Tire Rack and had them installed locally. There was a rebate at the time. Total cost worked out to about $100 each.

I have kuhmo Sr21's on my corolla and have been quite happy. I had the michelin Destiny's on my other corolla and loved the ride, traction and price.

The pirelli p4's were for about 90 a tire and they are also 80K tires.

I believe discount tire in shakopee had a buy three get one free and they had rotation program set up
