Winter Tires???

[Pa00GTS]

Anyone have any suggestions on a good all season tire for 16" stock wheels? Don't know if I want to go full winter tire, but something that will go GREAT in the snow. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

No all season tire will be even close to the performance of a dedicated snow and ice tire.

I use and like the Michelin Arctic Alpins and others on the board have had good luck with the Pilot Alpins which are a bit sportier than the Arctics. I've used the Arctics on all of our cars for 3 years now.

I've heard good things about Nokian snow tires as well.

The Bridgestone Blizzaks are number one bar none on the ice and packed snow but on the dry they feel VERY squirmy. Your call on that one, give up 10% capability in the ice by using a Michelin or a Nokian and gain 50% when the ground isn't covered by snow or on the highway, for me where most of my driving is highway which is usually plowed clear it wasn't much of a choice.

I've driven the Arctic Alpins and two different types of Blizzaks (don't remember the model names right now) but have never actually driven on the Nokians.
