What model tire?

You gotta love people who make remarks that lack specifics.

What size tires do you need?
Have you thought of dedicated winter tires (i.e. can you afford 2 sets of
tires)?
What qualities or characteristics are you looking for in a tire?
What preliminary (if any) research have you done and what has been your
findings?

I would suggest you start by visiting www.tirerack.com and look at their
surveys for tires. Also, you might want to do a search in this newsgroup
since this question has been answered many times.

I have used the Goodyear Regatta tire on one of my previous cars. It
provided a level of winter/ice traction that can be expected by a "all
season" tire. This tire has been replaced by the Regatta 2. Here is a link
to feedback of owners of this tire:

+2)

Currently, I own dedicated snow tires (Nokian Hakka 1). Once you have
driven on a set of GOOD winter tires, most (if not all) all season tires
winter capabilites will be considered poor. The only exception to this
would be the Nokian WR's that have the severe snow rating and can be used
all year round. Here is the link to the Nokian WR
(http://www.nokiantires.com/newsite/tires_popup.cfm?id=6) . To find out who
sells these tires, have a look at this link:

I will admit these tires are not cheap, but if you keep in mind that all
that connects you to the road are 4 patches of rubber on your car, you will
realize that good tires are essential to motoring and not something that one
should cut corners on. I reside in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and we do get
avg. levels of winter weather. I admit, buying dedicated tires did cost
money, but the fact that braking, handling and overall piece of mind is
increased, there was no reason why I should not get the winter tires.

Hope this helps.
