Better than all the below. Check w/Luke at Tirerack & read their reviews. Avon Tech M550 AS
Hemmed and hawed about this for our trailer car, as we use it in Florida and Wyoming, sometimes weeks apart. Pull it out the the trailer in 100F heat, next week it's a foot of snow and -40F.
This tire wins out in the customer reviews over the others pretty hard.
It's EXCEEDINGLY quiet, rides very well and is the best wet tire I've ever driven on, period. Haven't had it in snow yet, but Luke and the tests show it as better in snow than all but the Conti Sport Contact, which it kills everywhere else.
Best thing about them is the are cheap and they have worn very well too!
