A lot of people like the Continental Extreme Contacts. They are very good bang for the buck. I have a set and have been quite happy with them.

I think there may be some better all season tires out there, but expect to pay more...

Pirrelli P-Zero Nero M+S are excellent all seasons.

I would say the Coni Extreme has probably been the most popular. It handles well in the spring-fall months and has really good snow traction. The Pirelli P-Zero Nero M&S and Michelin Pilot Sport A/S are a bit more performance oriented. They may handle a bit better but their all season capabilities aren't as nice.

Toyo T1-S tires aren't rated as all season but the are the best rain tire I have ever had they cut through standing water better than any all season tire I have had. I haven't tested them in snow yet though.

I'm ran the Pirrelli P-Zero Nero M+S last year, but we didn't get much snow in Colorado. I think this year will be the test. I'll probably switch over to them in a few weeks.

I really hope you are joking. The S-03 is strictly a max performance summer based tire. Should only be used in temps consistently above 40 deg.

S-03...LOL!! you will be lucky to make it out of your neighborhood. when the cold weather makes a soft tire hard...well...dont try this at home..LOL! for A/s prob the conti ext for budget, pirelli or pilot sports if not. the BFG KDWS doesnt seem bad either. for spring/summer definately the Goodyear F1GS-D3 or the Advans. BTW, just listen to Neal he will lead u in the right direction.

I recently bought a set of BFGoodrich KDWS's for a cross country drive this winter. They are not the greatest for dry roads but are better than the Advans when its wet. Dont know about ice or snow yet.
