They should call this the Gary Forum. NEED HELP DESPARATELY need new all season tires...

I live in Toronto and need new all season tires. I was going opt for snows but I won't be doing much highway driving and city gets plowed soon after a storm so it's mostly city driving. What I'm looking for is a decent handling tire in dry, a good wet and best I can get for snow. I've been contemplating a few like Michelin Primacy MX4's or Potenzas. Wheel size is 215/55-16 on a 2004 A4 Avant 1.8t CVT FWD. Are these my two best choices? Anymore input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Best all season for snow = Nokian WR.

If you decide that you can get a separate set of winter tires you can find a set that is more performance oriented for those day when there is ntot snow on the ground, like the Dunlop Winter Sport 3D or Blizzak LM25. However, those tires would still need to come off in the spring. A popular all-season choice with good snow traction would be the Conti Extreme Contact. Although we do not carry Nokian, I've seen positive feedback on the tire that jprice suggested as well.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&url=/tires/index.jsp">Tires</a></li></ul>
