so with winter coming up, I'm going to need some new winter tires. the problem is I also need new summer tires. what I'm wondering is if I bought a very good set of all-seasons, would that be good enough? I really don't want to buy 2 sets of tires for this car.

it's an acura tsx, and I live in Ottawa, Ontario...so I get major snow.

i run all seasons fine but we dont get a ton of snow like you probably do. imo if you are a good enough driver the all seasons should get you by fine but i just dont know about how bad driving is up there.

it's not brand new. if I were going to the all-seasons route I'd get top of the line.

the other thing is I'm not 100% sure how long I'm going to keep this car so idk if I wanna buy 2 brand new sets of tires

Everyone has sales on atm
3-400 for a good set of winters right now
and summer/ all season's are always available for cheap too, New and used.

So it's nor a huge huge expense. I live in Ontario, imo a good set of winters is important

The tsx is a small car like mine, my tires are 195/65in thay area.
I'm rriding on a $100 set of allseasons I bought off kijiji atm

General G-MAX AS-03

A performance all season tire. May be most bang for the buck.

just researched that tire a bit...seems like a good tire for the price but it doesn't seem to be much of a snow tire

Your only option probably will be getting away from a lower profile performance-type tire.

What year is your tsx? Size rims?

All season isn't really made for our type of winters. In Quebec, you aren't even allowed to have all season tires in the winter anymore. You will struggle a bit
