If you are concerned about snow, get some blizzaks on some steel wheels for winter and a summer tire for the rest of the year. For you poor souls that have to be concerned with freezing cold I feel pity. Tires are compromises, if it handles one thing well, it often suffers in another. You need to decide for yourself, but the best all season tire I have driven on is the SP 5000. I prefer yokohama tires in general, but have never tried Toyos
