Advanta 245/30/22. Bought these as a recommendation from tire rack/my Boi and they are very nice compared to my Conti DWS 06+ that are on my back wheels currently. They don't break loose in the dry or wet but they are on the fronts only. I was really impressed, UNTIL they got sidewall bubbles in BOTH of them and the car was vibrating like crazy. (keep in mind that the load is under what they should be) and the car is lowered so there's that too. I'm not sure if Michelin or Conti would bubble but damn.

What is a High Performance tire?
High Performance tires sit between the sporty and touring worlds: more grip and steering precision than a touring tire, more comfort and life than an ultra high performance one. A common fitment on warm hatches and quicker family cars.
All Season tires compromise between summer and winter ability so one set can stay on the car all year. In moderate climates a good all season tire is a genuinely strong choice; in hard winters or hot summers a dedicated tire still does the job better.

What drivers say about All Season High Performance Tires
The most recent owner reviews from this category, in their own words.
These tires were replaced by the dealership I bought my pre-owned Polestar 2 from. Having heard how quickly EVs can go through a tire, I decided to see how they performed. I've driven 7000 miles in 6 months across late spring to early fall in sun, rain, warm and cold, but no winter weather. The tires have surprisingly good dry grip and are pretty sharp handling. Outright handing and performance isn't on the same level as something like the 200TW I autocross with, but plenty good for a road tire. The wet grip at low wear levels is very good, I haven't experienced any degree of hydroplaning, even at highway speeds with standing water and the cornering grip in the wet is solid. Whether it's the car or the tire, the combination does have an understeer bias. Overall, for the price I see these tires listed at, initial impressions are very good for a budget fair weather tire. Given the tread pattern, I probably won't give them a chance in winter, I can't imagine they'll stop an EV well in ice and snow, but that's purely speculation and caution. They seem to be wearing well so far and road noise is noticable, but not terrible. Overall, they performed better than I expected and I prefer them to the cross climate 2 and hankook ventus v2 concept 2 for summer commuting.
These tires were on my Cayenne 3.0d when I bought it. They aren't bad, but they aren't good either. They're mediocre. They might be noisy, but the car has good sound insulation, so you can't hear them..
I bought these to replace the continental's that came with my SUV. the continental's were terrible all around. These have great grip in the wet, snow, dry roads and most conditions. These were also more quiet than the original tires. I have about 25,000 miles on these and they barely look worn. They still have the same grip as when they were new.
They are good tires. They are very noisy when they become a little worn. And they are NOT run flats
I use these tires for all but winter, when I switch over to my Pirelli WeatherActive tires.
These tires have been very good, nice precision, good handling, and very good in the rain.
These tires also handle the all wheel drive warmed over 3.0 twin turbo V6 of this SUV, rather well.

Dry grip was great. Out of every complaint I’ve ever heard about RSA’s, it was never “they don’t do well under good conditions”. The wet grip is not bad either, although perpendicular movements tend to break out the tire in heavy rain, though I would think that is expected. Tire wear was fantastic, I’ve hit and jumped my fair share of curbs, potholes, ruts, exposed railroad tracks, and even a sinkhole in the road, and there were no missing chunks or odd wear or tear. In comparison to a Reliant set I had on the back, which was chewed up in about a year, the RSA’s have done fantastically.
These tires have so much grip, that the human brain cannot resist such lateral acceleration. And I am not exaggerating.
As you can see in the attached photo, I raced a slalom last week with my Renault Supercinq GTR.
Due to the tremendous acceleration, I was instantly knocked out and I have just woken up again 5 minutes ago.
They even tell me that I didn't finish last in the slalom... I don't know if it's true or not, because I was unconscious.
In every case, here you have the link to my run in the slalom:

We've been using this tire and its predecessors for about 20 years on all-wheel-drive station wagons (Subaru) and small SUVs (Daihatsu Terios). Our requirements are extreme. In addition to the wet conditions in the Rhineland, all tires are and have been driven to southern Spain several times a year with a full load. Once there, they have to drive for weeks on unpaved roads and in the summer heat, then drive over 2,000 km of highway back and also cope with the winter.
The tires have always been able to withstand everything, lasted a long time, even handled tricky maneuvers and we don't want any others, a clear recommendation.

All Season High Performance Tires EU label data
6 of the 54 tires in this category carry EU label data. These are the category's label headliners, using each tire's best available size figures.
B Best wet grip
2 tires reach EU wet grip class B. The highest scoring:
- Hankook Kinergy 4S 7.5
- Goodyear Eagle LS2 7.2
B Lowest rolling resistance
The most fuel efficient choice: 2 tires reach rolling resistance class B. The highest scoring:
- Hankook Kinergy 4S 7.5
- Goodyear Eagle LS2 7.2
66dB Quietest tires
The quietest tires in this category are labelled from 66 dB external noise:
Label values come from the EU EPREL database and vary by size - the figures here are each tire's best declared size. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict: the tests and rankings above tell you far more.

Where this data comes from
Rankings combine independent test results with owner reviews submitted through this site, each naming the car, the tire, the size and the distance covered. Reviews are checked by hand before publication, and the page rebuilds automatically as new evidence arrives.
About the TR Score
The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 using independent test results and the full body of owner reviews, weighted by how much evidence backs them.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
