Any one know what kind of all weather tires I can get that are good.
I need something that will hopefully work good in the snow too that is not a snow tire.

Any help would be appreciated!

I would personally go to Tirerack.com and read the reviews on the tires. Unfortunately you will find there are many mixed reviews on tires. Then try to make a intelligent choice what is best for your car such as estimated price range, best treadwear and handling. Then shop around "on line" or a local tire dealer for the best price tire with a high speed balance mounting.

I seem to always find the tires overall cheaper "online" with delivery + get them mounted + speed balance at a local tire repair garage VS buying at a one stop tire store. Heck, if I can save even $10.00 total per tire or more after everything done that bucks in my pocket. In todays high economy, we need to try to save every dollar, whenever you can. Unless your rich LOL

Tirebuyer.com is another example site I also look at for compare pricing when purchasing on line.

Good Luck.......

Right now I'm running General Altimax HP's on my '05 xB. Very quiet and very good wet traction. We didn't get much snow here in CT last year but I don't anticipate any problems with them if and when we get dumped on this winter. My local tire shop was within a couple of $$$ versus the TireRack, mounted, balanced, taxes out the door. I did check. Previously ran Yokohama AVID TRZ's for 4 years and they were excellent. Had a major problem with ozone checking (dry rot) on the sidewall but the tread was like new. Not the 1st time that's happened to me.
