Please help with All season tire selection

[MongoCobra]

I'm getting ready to pick up a brand new 2010 GT500 and will be using it as a daily driver here in the northeast. I would like to swap out the F1's for a set of all season tires to avoid the hassle of summer/snow tires. I cant seem to find a matching pair at either TireRack, Mavis or Discount tire direct. Can anyone suggest a good set?

thanks

The F1 All Season is the best choice....you may have to run the 275/40/18's on all 4 corners for the winter......awesome tire.....had them on my Mach1....great wet road grip with almost zero hydroplane.

all season tires aren't worth a crap. You'll have to get used to the idea of running 2 different sets for winter/summer to really enjoy the car.

some companies make a very good "winter" tire you can run most of the year and then swap for the summer/high perf months.
