Default Tires for 90S

It time for me to replace the tires on my 94-90s.
I'm looking into an all season tire. I've heard a lot about the Dunlop SP5000 and the Pirelli P6000, and recommendations or experiences with any of these or others.
I live in the Toronto area and occassionaly will have to fight myway through snow....tks for your advice...

I hear the Bridgestone Potenza RE930 (I think, check tirerack.com) is an excellant all season tire.

Yes, I had those on my 90Q and they were great...especially in rain.

Default 6000 old junk, re930 just old tech, sp5k ...

has much better rubber compounding for lower temperatures, a lot more silica for traction, and it is quieter. Two caveats, the re930 is better than the base model of the 5000. The shorter sidewall and higher-speed rated 5000's are a much better tire.

Default My Yokohama AVS S4-V handle rather well, but a bit mushy & loud at times, now they make a dB tire...

that looks a bit more aggressive, less noise, last longer. Yok's are the only ultra-high performance AND all-season tire that I could find and like. So far, so good. I've put a little more than 20k mi. of agressive driving on them and they're still handling great. I also went to the 205/60 from the 195/65 OEM tires to increase performance ("Plus-Zero" as it is called). They handle well at high speeds and cornering as well as in the snow of PA/NJ. These have been much better than Good"for-a"Year tires that I had on first.

Good Luck...
