After skimming through a few of the tire related threads on this forum, I thought I would ask some questions here?
My last 2 cars were Subaru WRX's, first a 2004 then a 2012 & mostly Legacy wagons before that. Needing to replace the 2012, I was in a dilemma to find a vehicle with at least the same performance in a hatchback with manual transmission. The Golf R checked those boxes. Was is the responsible/practical choice?, probably not but it sure is fun to drive!
When my last car was new I bought separate rims & ran dedicated snow tires in the winter until they wore out. For the previous 20+ years, I had always just used all season tires with the M+S stamp on them without any real issues. Yes, the real snow tires were awesome but for many reasons it is pain in the ass for me to have to switch seasonally & now I am stuck with a set of rims I cannot use. My new VW came with low profile 235/35 R19 Pirelli P ZERO's which are summer tires.
First question. Will Les Schwab price match?
I am looking at either Toyo Proxes 4 Plus All Seasons or Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus tires. Anyone have any input on either of these tires?
I had some P Zero All Seasons on my 2004 WRX & they were nice & sticky but only lasted about 15K miles (I tend to drive hard on winding mountain roads & go through tires quickly). I am not dead set on either of these tires but those were 2 that came up on Tire Rack. The Tire Rack price on the Proxes 4's was more than $100 less than Les Scwab's price. BTW, the Proxes were the only tires for my car on the Les Schwab site. I would like to get them from Les Schwab for the convenience of having a shop close to me in both Tahoe & Ogden.
