i got Vredestein hi-trac which is amazing in the wet and not bad in the dry. It does have low-rolling resistance it helps with the fuel mileage. Check out this web site on test for a set of popular tires in europe. I helped me choose mine! but also depends on what type of tire you want for the dry or wet.

I've already decided on the next tires "or shoes" for Bubbles. I did a search on Tire Rack with decending UTQG "treadwear" and with the best price. The results were the same as BAIL OUT indicated. Yokohama Avid TRZ.
Bubbles is very happy about getting his new shoes, but I told him that he needs to wear out his Goodyear LS's first!

That won't take long...

Hopefully I'll be picking up the Avid TRZ tires next weekend so I can give you a heads up on any immediate FE change from the LS's. (the temp and my commute shouldn't change that much over a week so any change will probably be due to tires, for good or for ill.)

Have you used them in the snow or do you have dedicated snow tires? just curious.
