Help me chose between these all-season tires

[t1b3r1u5]

Hi everyone,

This is my first post ever. I've been following several posts before joining and this seems like the best place to get some help.

Basically, I've found way too many choices for all-season tires. I drive a 2007 GX and have 4 15" steel rims to these new tires on. I've been quoted the following with installation.

Hercules IronMan Imove ($437)
Hercules RoadTour 4.0 Plus ($457) (Continental ExtremeContact DWS Clone)
Hercules Roadtour 655 ($500)

Does anyone have an opinion on which of these would be best option in terms of treadwear, highway performance, and fuel efficiency? I have Michelin X-Ice 2 winter tires. I've read that the Continental ExtremeContact DWS are good for year-round driving but are quite soft. Otherwise, I've read a couple reviews on the iMove and none on the Roadtour 655.

Any comments or recommendations are much appreciated!

FYI I live in KW.

I should add that these prices include installation and balancing.

Shop with a sponsor and save. For those prices you can get into a Pirelli P4, Yokohama Touring S, Falken SN211 and more. All are better than the Hercules, and have very high treadwear and will be quiet on the road :)

I can sell you 16" alloy rims with Bridgestone Turanza tires already installed for only $350 AND then you can sell your 15" rims and end up paying even less !!

or just keep the 15" snows on them, and save every season on swap overs ;)

I have extra 15" steel rims off a 2006 Mazda 3.

midnightfxgt, which sponsors are recommended? As I mentioned, I'm in KW so the closer they are to here, the better.

Thank's for the advice.

Ok. I found this list on a Simply Tire thread. Those are some really good prices compared to what is offered over here ($70-80 less with tax in). Read that the Falken SN211 has great reviews on 1010tires and a crazy tread-wear rating. Is it worth driving over there on my winters for these? Unfortunately, I had to toss my old all-seasons.

Anything Pirelli, Dunlop, Bridgestone or Michelin is amazing and will last you a long time. I recommend those brands, even though they are more expensive, because your paying for the amazing quality.

Does anyone run T-rated tires? Is this advisable?
