Best all season for 15 pp?

Spend the money now and get a winter set.  I paid around $1100 for 18" wheels w/ TPMS and tires.

Save your F1 SuperCars for summers.  The difference between an A/S and high performance summer tire is huge.

No compromises!

Reccomendation is to man up and get some real snow shoes on an extra set of steelies...pokermunkee speaks the truth

Dont be that guy that thinks skill can overcome physics...when i see people driving around in the hills of pa in the winter snow all i see are pinballs waiting to mess up my car...if someone hits me and has crappy tires im calling edgar snyder and associates

Winter is coming and i gotta,swap out my stock pp tires for some all seasons for pa winter. Any recomendations?
20 inch winter will cost more than a set of 18's and tires.
 
Continental DWS/06, Pirelli Cinturato P7, General GMax are tried & true all-season tires.  But the "ultimate" will still be snow tires.
 
I would refrain yourself from all the elements and keep your new SHO safe inside the barn and instead of purchasing new wheels or tires get yourself a descent used suv so you wont have to worry when the real harsh weather or other person hits.  Z

Plenty of people out there who don't think a Ferrari isn't anything special either :D  They trash 'em and just get another.
 
Hell Elon Musk parked his McLaren F1 on the street and always left it covered in bird crap.

Ferrari's are overpriced eurotrash. If I won one tomorrow I''d sell it and use the proceeds to build another two car garage and buy an RS, F150, and a Shelby.

IMHO the SHO is special, destroying nearly everything I run across with nary a glance from law enforcement. I surely couldn't get away with the **** I do if I was in a Ferrari.

Everybody and their brother expects a Ferrari to dominate. What they don't expect is a Taurus giving said Ferrari a helluva run for its money.....When it's all over, spectators will be checking out the Taurus because it surprised the **** out of them and it's something that most people can put themselves in a position to actually own, and unlike the Ferrari, that reaction is priceless.


 
This car is a blast in the snow with winter tires.

Get a winter wheel package for under $1200 and drive the crap out of your ridiculous depreciating asset!
 
I went both directions - initially I went with 18" rims and Blizzaks and swapped the F1's out for 3 seasons. Its a PITA but when its snowy they are unstoppable.

Once the F1's died I went with Cooper Zeon RS3-A's and they are VERY good in the snow/wet and pretty damn good in the dry. If I lived further North I would still use the dedicated snow's,  but here you maybe need them 5 days @ month and the rest of the time its clear and dry.

If you are interested in dedicated snows I still have my Blizzaks mounted on 18" rims - have tons of tread left, probably can work a deal.

I have lived whole life in WI and our cars with good a/s will work awesome. Snow tires are fine if you feel the need to run summer tires when weather permits. I put on Conti's and LOVE them in the snow and when the roads aren't covered, I still get great performance
