Good tires that are not insanely priced…

Give the General GMax AS-07 a look.

The General GMax is a decent tire too for all-season use. I've had 2 sets of those on 2 different vehicles and had no complaints.

'18 Ecoboost Premium convertible here.
I have Continental PureContact LS all seasons on mine. I put them on looking for longevity after going through 3 sets of P-zeros very quickly. They have been on about 4 years now And you can still clearly read the DWS in the tread. It's my daily. The first year and a half I was driving 60 miles round trip 5 days a week plus eveningjoy rides and weekend trips. The last 2 1/2 years It's still our go-to car unless we have to move the grandkids or the dogs but it's obviously not driven as much. Evening joy rides are now joined by weekly day trips and extended weekend trips. Honestly, without actually measuring the tread, I can't really say they have worn much. I do not race or track them but do take them to the mountains to play. Their handling exceeds my nerve/skill level.
All that to say for a dd Ecoboost I'm not sure you need the highest performance tire, just a really good one that lasts.

My wife’s SUV came with Michelin’s from the factory. They were worn out and had to be replaced at 19k miles, ended up getting some mileage warranty $$ from Michelin on them. Switched to Continental on the SUV, 40k miles on them and 6/32 on the tires as of a week or so ago. Probably have to replace them after the winter but I’ve been really happy with the Conti all seasons (Cross Contact). Love my Conti ECS on my Mustang as well.

I just get a credit card from goodyear or a tire shop and buy a set of good tires. They are worth it in the end.

Installed Lexani LX -Twenty on my Car. 285/35 R20. I have about 4k miles on them. They are great for the money. Paid 760 installed. I worked at Costco tire for 10 years. Sold and owned Michelins, and Bridgestones, and these tires more than perform close or as good as them.

needing all-season tires.

Look into the General GMax AS-07. I had the previous version on my '15 V6 daily driver and was very happy with them.

Wow, that sucks. I’d report those stores to corporate if I were you (if you care that much, sounds like you have a better shop to go to anyways).

Yeah it was pretty frustrating. Then to make it worse, priority tire uses FedEx to deliver. They dropped the set of 4 tires right in the front where anyone could grab them without any signature. I’m glad they didn’t get stolen. Hard to miss a stack of tires almost 4’ high

So, looking at Costco. Pricing is a bit better. Entire set of Firestone Firehawk AS V2 for $872 isn’t bad.

set of 4 Michelin Pilot Sport AS 4 for $1247. Installed price.

And yes, I know I’m looking at All Season tires. This is for my daily driver Ecoboost, and need solid rear round tread for living in the panhandle of Texas. Lots of different weather conditions.

Discount has started charging $25 per tire for install, plus more for warranties. The guy there said they’ve always charged for that, but I’m not sure it’s been that much. They sure didn’t offer any discounts or talk about tires on sale. I mean, they’re friendly, I just don’t feel like they work with you as much as they used to.

OP the Firestone Firehawk tires aren't bad. You should price compare them to Goodyear Eagle Sport tires, very similar class of tire and both are good all season tires.

I replaced my Yokohama's with these General's and I've been really impressed with them. They are made in USA too.

Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s
Way better in the rain than my Pirellis

The Indy 500s do well in rain but they are summer performance tires and will wear out faster than all season tires. Likely don't do as well in colder temperatures, either. They have better dry grip than A/S, though, as they should.

Yeah, the Indy 500's are definitely not suitable for winter or near freezing temps. Although I did get caught in a freak snow flurry one time going through eastern Nevada not long after my 500's were installed. They were not terrible but I had the car in snow mode and I was not going fast.

If you want an all season tire, Continental DWS06+ is fantastic, my dad has them on his Mustang.

Agreed. I had put a set on the wife's previous rig and loved them, and plan to put a set on her new Escape once the lamewad OEM Michelins are shot. Great tire from snow to dry pavement.

Our winters here haven’t been too bad the last few years now as far as snowfall, I’m considering moving to the DWS06+ for my winter set instead of a pure winter/snow tire (I run Blizzaks in the winter currently). I probably have one more winter left before they start to age out (bought them in January 2020), still undecided. We’ll see what this winter brings as far as snow.

If you really want road hazard coverage, buy the tires on TireRack and have Discount install them. Tire Rack includes 2 years of free road hazard when you buy from them vs Discount Tire's expensive 3 year tire certificates. Discount owns TR, so free shipping to store.

Also, I'll give another vote for General's. I've had them on other cars; great quality on a budget.

Wow, great tip. Had no idea Discount owned Tirerack.
