Hi, I just bought a 2007 9-3 AERO sedan and the Conti's are a bit thin . Looking for some advice on a replacement tyre (235/45R17) for driving in the Washington, DC and Virginia areas. I have just moved here from Australia and tyre requirements are different - we don't get so much snow in Aust!
I am a spirited driver and my main decider is road noise and grip.
I've visited the TireRack for some info.
Any suggestiions?

 

I would suggest an all-season tire. The DC area has terrible snow storms. Get ready for winter!!! Browse Tires-easy.com or Tire Rack for a great price/selection combo.
