Are you looking for summer tires? All-season? Winter?  H- or V-rated? 

Here is Consumer Reports recommendations for performance all-season tires, H-rated.

	• Continental PureContact
	Price as tested: $112.77
	Overall score 70/100
	Best for drivers seeking a mostly uncompromising blend of handling, comfort, and 
	all-weather grip.

	• Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus
	Price as tested: $105.90
	Overall score 70/100
	A top rated tire (tied with the Continental PureContact and Michelin Premier A/S) for 
	its solid all-weather performance and long tread life.

	• Michelin Premier A/S
	Price as tested: $135.86
	Overall score 70/100
	A top rated performance all-season tire (tied with the Continental PureContact and 
	Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus). Impressive blend of all-season grip, treadwear, 
	and handling.
