i just got a 2006 scion xb. came stock w/ goodyear eagle ls 185/60/r15

the tires seem to be pretty lame: very light traction ability, with a lot of squeling. kind of small, too. seems very dangerous in snow or rain...

wondering if anyone had any guidance, in terms of if i should replace ASAP or run these our until they're done?

will be doing lots of freeway and mildly aggressive street driving. as far as climate: live in san jose, ca. mild winters, a little wet sometimes. will be doing some snow driving and some all season dirt road driving, mostly dry, but can get muddy...

some cats have recommended Pirelli PZero Nero M+S...

i'd appreciate anyone's input.

thanks!

 

I personally reccomend BFGoodrich Traction T/A's. I had them on my Accord back in the day, and are the best. Awesome wet and dry handling, and the treadwear is great as well.

They're $60/each @ TireRack.com
