Hi,
I currently have Dunlop W-10(summer tire) 225/40/18, very uncomfortable ride, of course bad traction on snow...etc..I am looking for high performance all-season tires (comfortable) and "Michelin Pilot XGT H4" looks like the best. Please give me your opinions. What kind of tires you guys have?If you know the website with cheap price or where to get them cheap, please let me know.

Thanks a lot.

there is no such a thing as "high performance all-season (comfortable)tires". By their very nature, performance tires sacrifice smooth rides because of the lower aspect ratio and their wider diameter increase float over slippery surfaces causing poor winter traction.

I would suggest looking at http://www.tirerack.com for their reviews and ratings. If you are in the Markham area, I would suggest visiting Steelcase Tire "n" Mags. They sell very high end tires at great prices. I would suggest either Dunlop, Yokohama, or Nokian. These are the names that first come to mind for performance tires. Steelcase sells many brands. Talk to Dave or Jim and they will give you a good deal.
