Default I am becoming a big fan of the BF Goodrich Traction T/A...

I have had them on three cars now and they are a vey respectable for tire for any sort of non-competitive driving. The price is reasonable too, and it comes in three speed ratings so choose your own fate... ;-)

Default Contisport Contact 2s are exactly the same

I had to drive from Providence to Boston last year in a blizzard, with my 255/40/17 summer tires. I had trouble keeping the car in one lane at 38mph.

Default The ContiExtremeContact are great in the snow and very good in wed and dry

IMO they are the best ultra high performance all-season tire for snow and they still give quite good performance in other conditions. My Wife has been running them year round on her A4 3.0 and now on her S6. They last a long time too.

Default Thanks for the input. Apparently, you aren't the only one who likes 'em

They're on back order. Tirerack says they'll have them by 12/6.
