Hi all, I picked up a 2014 Turbo S a few days ago then discovered I'll need all season tires for the winter. I live in NYC, it doesn't snow too often however it gets under 30 often.

I purchased the Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS from TireRack only to find they were sold out with no ETA for 90+ days.

Now I'm having trouble finding other All Season tires, has anyone had experience with LEXANI - LX-TWENTY tires? I've never heard of them, however the review on this site + Amazon are quite good.

I don't think I need winter tires, thoughts?

Lexani are cheap poor people tires.

I just located the RE980AS tires elsewhere.

I would get the winter tires unless you plan to keep the all seasons on in the summer as well. Winter tires are better at low temperatures and summer at high temperatures.

I didn't know this was an option....was in the process of getting another set of wheels for the winter...However, Since my turbo is my DD primarily for rainy days in seattle I am thinking to make this all year round....how are these tires in the summer? Are they could enough for spirited driving in the summer?

Yup that's what I do on my TTS, to avoid skating in the winter rain here in Seattle and the occasional snow storm that cripples the city.

Which do you do....all season or winter tires? love to know since i am in Seattle as well.

Winter tires, and put the Pirelli P zeros back on in the summer. I learned a while ago that proper tires are more important than AWD. I had an Audi RS5 that I crashed into the center medium during the winter because I thought the AWD would do a good job of compensating, boy was I wrong.

Winter tires here and I use 2 sets of wheels. I drive all winter.

I'm a New Yorker. Get the winter tires. All seasons have no snow traction compared to winter tires.

Germany REQUIRES winter tires. All Season tires are not particularly good in any season.

Ended up returning the All Seasons and ordered Winter Tires, thanks everyone!
