Looking for some suggestion for new rubbers?

Replaced my Contis (17,000mi.), with some more Conti's and 10,000 miles later they look like :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Right Front; Air Bubble :thumbdwn:
Left Front; Replaced a puncture (nail, screw) :eek:
Left Rear; Severley cracked, starting from the inner tire (hub). :mad:

I really dont beat on her, Have to really try to get a lil' chirp. I guess the low profile rims, and shatty roads in New England don't mesh well...

I have been thinking about the Avon 550's, and the Kumho ECSTA ASX. They are both resonably priced around a buck each. I don't see the point of spending 800-900 on a yearly basis for rubber...

Any input on these, or other names? (All Season Performance)

Thanks.

Hard to go wrong with either one of those tires. We have had great experience with both. The Conti should do a bit better in snow, while the TechM550 should have a bit faster steering response and dry grip.
