After putting on 63,000 miles on the original tires, it's time to replace them with something. While getting one of them fix from a nail, I asked about the price of the original and had a bit of sticker shock, but somewhat not.
Anyway, looking for recommendations of tires that have good life, have good traction in snow/rain/dry and are not noisy. Yep, long list...but hey, why not.
I'm located in Omaha, NE. Thanks, Michael

While ResponsEdge are GREAT at wet/performance driving, they are INCREDIBLY soft. I have a thread entitled Feedback On ResponsEdge or something like that where I outline all that I experienced with the tires.
I HAD Bridgestone BT70S, and LOVED them. I think the Potenza PE92 is what replaced the BT70S. Snow? I really havent had the GP in snow, and I hopefully wont, since I have no idea on how to drive in the snow.
Maybe someone else can chime in and help ya here.

Too slow and you get stuck, too fast and you slide. I'd recommend Fuzion HRis to anyone. I have 'em on my Stratus and they're wonderful. Plenty of grip and great in the rain. I only run them once in the snow, so not much to go on.

I've had the Response Edge for about 11 months now. They are soft and seem to be wearing a bit more than planned. They rocked in the winter, and winter East of Cleveland is about as crappy as it gets.

I just put on Yokohoma AVID TRZ tires about 10000 miles ago and so far they seem great haven't had them in the snow to much though but I am really waiting for this winter to try them out

I've had Perilli PZero Nero's for almost 2 years now. I actually like them better than any other tire I've had on any of my past cars.
I don't know the price of them, they came with my wheels.
