Tires for a 2007 A3 2.0t

[Jeffrey Brown]

Howdy,

I have a 2007 A3 2.0t with the OE ContiProContact 225/45R17
Mileage is about 32,000 and the fronts are just about done, backs have some
life left, but I had a puncture in one of them repaired, which makes me a
little nervous so I am planning to replace all 4

I sort of expected to get more than 32,000 miles from a set of tires, do
other people have similar experiences with this tire?

Also, I would be looking at an all season assuming I could get something
that performs reasonably well in the winter (I live in the north east US)
and the current tires are pretty crappy in anything more than light snow

I don't really have the space to store summer/winter tires, which is why I'd
be looking for a good all season tire, I don't really need a high
performance tire but it would be nice if the sidewalls didn't roll on every
corner :)

So I guess short version would be a tire that performs about as well as
current tire in summer, but has better winter performance

Thanks,
