Hi

I've done a search on this issue and read many of the posts dealing with the replacement of the original Firestone 195/55/16 tires - sorry, but I'm still somewhat confused. I am looking for an all season tire, that will provide considerably better traction in the snow and rain than the original tires - I want to replace these, even though I only have about 26,000 km on them, because I'm tired of risking my life every time it rains or snows. A couple of tires I'm considering are the Pirelli P6 205/50/16 or the Dunlop SP Sport A2 205/55/16. Any thoughts on these or other potential replacement tires for driving here in Toronto would be greatly appreciated.

Try just getting some snow tires for winter and keeping the originals for normal use. No "all-season" tire is going to provide considerably better traction than another. If you're still worried, just try starting in second gear if it wet or icy. Works for me.
