Tire time for me...replacing worn PZero Summers. Anyone have experience going from summers to all seassons? Sure would be nice to drive my Cat on colder dry days in the winter

I went with the Conti DWS06+ all seasons and love 'em. Not as sticky as a drag radial or a full on summer tire, but very, very good. Here's the related thread.

Thx, good info

Yes, if you're going to All Seasons, get good ones; Like the Conti's or Michelins.

B - Do you think the performance hit is that bad?

I have a set of both P zero all season tires and P zero summer tires. I won't get into arguments over various brands but to answer your original question -
The all seasons have easily noticeable less traction than the summers when the temperature is about about 60F. Below 60F the opposite is the case.
I have run the summers when the temperature was in the 40s and didn't crash or die but the traction is comparably poor to warmer temperatures OR the all seasons at that temperature.

I suspected, thanks for the feedback. I always had in the back of my mind to just get a set of all seasons in addition to a summer set. Do you have them mounted on a spare set of wheels and do the swap them yourself, or do have a tire shop change tires?

Yes I have a spare set of "cheap" wheels with the all seasons mounted and just swap out sets myself. I also bought a pair of Hellcat reps for my extra rear tires.

I should have mentioned that if I were planning to get an extra set of wheels/tires and use my Hellcat as a daily driver in the in winter here I would get an actual set of winter tires, not All season tires.

I have only used all-season tires on my Scat Pack and now my HC. I have the Pirelli Zero Nero and they suck. I had the Michelin Pilot Sport AS3, or 4, don't remember on my SP and will put them on my HC when it's time. Anyway, even in colder weather, below 50, you need to take it easier. With 707 hp no tire is going to grip worth a shoot in the cold.

Yes, Winter/Snow AND Summer only, or if just one set, All Seasons like was said. There is NO comparison between Summer and any All Season.
