Need new tires, any advice?

Hello everyone,

I currently have Continental DW Summer tires, however only got about 13k miles out of the the rear tires in 2 years. Fronts are still in great shape. I see in many other posts Michelin PSS is being recommended by many drivers, my only concern is getting another Max Performance Summer tire and burning through them. Spoke to someone at Tire Rack, when I called to complain about these DW tires and they recommend an All Season Tire to get more milage. If I stay with Continental they said move to the DWS? Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

I am shopping for tires, also. I've read some reviews where the PSS tires wear out before the 30K warranty. If you do lean toward an All Season tire, Michelin also makes a Pilot Sport AS-3 that is similar to the PSS. It gets about 45K and performs better in below 60 temps, but when the temps are above 70, the PSS way outperforms the AS-3.

I'm going with PSS. We don't get too cold here in NC, and I'll just drive something else if it snows or gets below freezing. PSS are an absolute no-go if there is snow on the ground.

Hope that helps.

Well I'll also add, I don't go to the track and this is my daily driver from April to November so don't drive in the snow.
