My tires have 0mm thread left in the rear and 3mm in the front. Lots of thread was lost during this winter season cause I have Bridgestone Potenza re050. Which is an extreme summer tire. Did I learn my lesson to go with all season next time.

With any track biased tire, it needs to be in warm environment so the benefits of this tire in cold weather are really not realized until you really warm them up really well. The wet grip is ok in light rain or damp conditions (but be cautious)...forget about standing water...stay home or drive like your keeping up with Mrs. Daisy.
If your in Cali or west coast state with very little rain, the Toyo's are a great tire.

Buy a winter and summer setup. Honestly I seriously doubt you can even drive an amg with summer thread in the winter

I was tempted but they are a bit pricey for 19's so I went with the new Nitto NT05 and I am happy. They have a 200 treadwear, handle superb and hooked pretty good at the strip yesterday.

I just recently got new rear tires, and let me tell you, MUCH smoother.
I could only find ONE tire with a warranty in that size. Michelin Pilot AS Sport Plus.
I got them at Costco, and they might be a little bit more expensive, but costco is the BEST. They fill the tires with nitrogen, so in hot weather the air doesnt expand, and you dont have to warm your tires before you get rolling. Everything is free after you get the tires, all future balances/rotations/patches (as long as not sidewall). AND THEY HAVE A WARRANTY!!! 45k mile warranty through costco cannot be beat!
Paid 500 for both rears and rebalancing/nitrogen fill in front tires.

I just purchased a set of Nexen 3000's and must say for the price I don't think you can beat them. VERY impressed with them overall and their wet traction is unbelievable. Highly recommend.

I like the looks of the NT05's - might try them after liking the Invo's
