I use the Continental ContiExtremeContact with very good results through the chicago winters. A friend of mine also has good experiences with the Goodyear Assurance Tripletred. I might venture to try the Goodyear Eagle F1 All-Season next though.

I have a set of Cooper snows I'll sell you cheap if you just want snow tires for now. I would have put them back on the Alero this winter but it's not going anywhere, much less in the snow.

I'm not really looking for snow tires, cause I'm cheap. lol I need a good set of all-season tires... I looked at those Eagle F1 tires from Goodyear. I just didn't know if anyone has tried them or if they have one that's better. I'll give those a look again. My rear tires barely have tread left on them right now... yikes!!! Not good for snow....

candace, your not allowed to talk about all weather anything, when the WORST weather you get is rain. 
i just got some dunlop graspic's. haven't put them on yet, since we haven't had any snow. i'm eagerly waiting to see how well they do. they rank pretty close to blizzaks. |

nah the worst weather we get is ICE
we dont get snow.. just ice slicks.. =/ And he said he didnt want snows just all seasons. Go check out the specs and ratings on the Harmony's... its really great. Michelin is almost always a top tire to have

I drive on ice (washboardy even) all winter, they don't plow our roads up here they just pack on and get shiny.

I swear by my Yokohama Avid V4s. They're nice all around and I think the suggested price is $80 per tire for the rubber. I dont know that you can beat the price to performance ratio. Theyre just plain awesome. Only downside is treadwear, they go faster than the 500 rating would suggest.

I dont remember what the stock ones were, but i drove in snow-rain-icey roads and i never had any problems with traction.
