Then I would definitely get a cheap set of steelies for the winter with something like a Blizzak tire on them. Or get a nicer set of rims and put the winter tires on your stockers.

 

I drive 50K miles a year and have been doing it for 11 years.. I buy tires every October, and for our cars these are what I found to be the best all around tires..

#1 Michelin Primacy MXV4 -about the best "all around" tire in my book. Smooth, quiet and with very good grip. Not a full performance tire but, close and it is also great in snow.. I live in PA and have had driven in 5in of snow and these tire do fine. . Car is too low for deeper snow..

#2 BFGoodrich Advantage T/A, Good all around tire, but the Primacy beats it in all categories except PRICE. Very good in the snow/rain. quiet on highway handles OK, but is noisy when pushed. OK tread life, got 48k miles out of them.

 

I have Hankook H727 tires and they are great year round.
