I'm not too sure about super performance tires but I ran my kumho ASX's in the snow. they are an all -season performance tire and do well dry and in snow.
Oh and they're pretty cheap-ish too. for the evo, 96$ each. (I think I got the right size)

hmm....i WAS gonna reccomend a falken ziex 512 all season cuz i THOUGHT they were pretty decent tires until i read this review

Bought for my Evo as a all season tire. Handled horribly & wore out rather quickly. These tires were horrible in the slightest accumulation of snow (less than 1" I am talking) turning my evo into a sled. On dry roads the tires had no grip & felt like an insult to put on an Evo to be honest. They were not very good in wet situations either. If you want a cheap set of tires for your evo to just destroy or use in a "non spirited" daily driving situation then go for it. If you want ANY kind of handling performance stay far far away. After the most recent spirited driving, one of the tires developed sidewall bubbles. UGH Im either going back to the Yoko Advans or I may give the Falken RT 615's a shot.

I had these on my first t/a I liked them. There a gripped pretty well for me. your size is $104 ea. PLease read the reviews for your EVO. I liked these tires and they never did me wrong they had great grip all season. i got stuck in an unexpect snow store one day ater thanksfgiving in the t/a they were the reason I got home. I was actually impressed

Great tire. I have them on the GP and love them. Great grip in the snow!

I'm actually looking for the same thing now. All season and high performance. I'm looking at the Bridgestone Potenza G 009's right now.

Triple Treds.. hands down best A/S tire.



however i DONT THINK they come in a 17" rim

They do come in 17's.. they are harder to come by size wise though.

I thought all season tires were great till I went from the Taurus to the Mustang. Now I realize how nice it is to have a dedicated summer tire/rims setup and a Nov-March winter tire/rim setup. This way Ive got maximum performance for the right time of the year and none of the trade offs of an all season.

Im sure you could pick yourself up a set of evo rims cheap and put some winter tires on there.

so far I am loving the traction TAs. Haven't slipped at all in this shit.

 

[bluzohh6]

Just an update for ya mook. The traction TAs handles and gripped very well in the snow tonight. FWIW.

those tires are great in dry, shit in snow.

my brother's got those new goodyear responsedge carbon fiber's , they're like $170/tire for him.

this is the idea.. don't skimp out on tires, because what you pay for is what you get.. splurge a little.

see if the goodyear potenza g 009 works for you. i've driven an SSEi on those tires.. not a lightweight car, and it handled like a nimble little car like a porsche or a lotus.

Potenzas are made by Bridgestone not Goodyear, everyone I know that had Potenzas on there car complains how bad of a tire they are. Im not sure of the model.

Putting nice tires on a Bonneville will not make it handle like a Lotus or Porsche :nuts:

Traction T/As are beastly good in the snow.

BFG FTW!

My "Winter beater" last year had traction TA's. They were good in the snow.
