Good All-Seasons for 80-120 USD?

Any recommendations?

I live in MN so it's really snowy and slippery in the winter so they have to handle well in the winter.

And Although two sets of wheels are nice, It's a lot over my budget....

try the goodyear regatta II
used them in dry weather and heavy rain. good traction.
i recommend it.

80k warranty and it's like 80-90$. plus installation, etc you are looking at $10x

if you are looking at cost, check out the yokohama on www.tirerack.com. some good tires + review on there

go with the contiextreme contacts. they have a very high rating for snow traction for being high perf. tires.

most importantly do what skewe^^^ says and read the reviews on tirerack.con

I can vouch for Continental ContiExtremeContacts being good in wet and dry. I can't comment about snow though since it doesn't snow here.

BF Goodrich Traction T/A has some good ratings too. But not as high performance as the Continentals.

Goodyear Assurance Tripletred - high ratings in Consumer Reports and on Tirerack

Kumho ECSTA HP4 716 - a great all season tire with respectable ratings on Tirerack

I have used both here in CO. The Goodyears have a better winter grip, and a quieter ride on dry. The Kumhos are a bargain at ½ the price of the Goodyears, with good winter grip, but they tend to be a bit more noisier.

I've got Goodyear Regatta II's on 2 cars. They work very well in the snowy/slushy conditions and are pretty quiet. Definitely not a performance tire, but they are very good for your price range.

Buy them and get them installed at your local Goodyear supplier/service center and you will have free lifetime rotation and balancing. Works great for me! I think I paid about $400 total, including all taxes and other charges for each car.
