With the topic title AVS DB vs. Pilot XGT V4 I didn't think we would be looking at other tire but for high performance all-season tires here's my take.

Pilot XGT V/Z4: very noisy, moderate snow traction, good dry handling and steering response.

AVS DB: extremely quiet, decent dry handling, ok wet traction, (haven't tried them in the snow, and very very quiet. (did I already mention that)

Dunlop Sport 5000: the best snow and wet traction(but still ok in the dry), pretty quiet, good all around tire.

Comp T/A: great tire 15 years ago but tire technology has passed it by

Thanks, Luke
