Spring has arrived and time to take off the Blizzaks. I am looking for a three season tire that is recommended for the 20" wheel set. spend 80% on road and the rest on Forest service back roads. Have used Continental DWS and Pirelli Scorpion Verde. Haven't been disappointed but always looking to improve.

Thanks!

P.S. Of course any advice about what to steer clear of is welcome.

 

Conti ExtremeContact DWS (now DWS 06) and Scorpion Verde(try to get the Plus) are exactly what I recommend on this vehicle.

The Verde is more comfort oriented(softer ride, less feel of small bumps/cracks, lower noise), and the DWS more performance(grip both dry/wet/light snow, more road feedback). Comparatively, with the DWS you'll have better overall traction, and better traction in inclement weather(although, that's what you have the Blizzaks for) at the cost of a little bit of noise and ride smoothness that you get with the Verde.

There are many other options out there, but in my opinion, these are the best you'll come across for road use. Comes down to driving style for which one to go with.

 

Michelin can perform better and last longer, though not inexpensive.
