Goodyear TripleTred. I've had Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, Yoko ES100, Dunlop SP9000, and Potenza S-03's and these are absolutely unbelievable. They handle better than the Yokos and Dunlops (but not nearly as well as the F1s or S-03s), have great treadwear, and amazingly are all seasonal - they're better in the snow than my old dedicated winter tires! If you care about grip in the snow, do not get the 512s....I have a friend with them on his Celica and they absolutely suck in the winter. We get tons of snow up here, so that's a major concern for me. If snow grip is a big priority at all, you dont want to get anything called a 'performance' or 'high performance' all seasonal.

The TrpleTred's consumer rating on tirerack is UNBELIEVABLE...check it out. They actually use different rubber compounds on the shoulders for better grip and stiffness and in the middle for better snow traction and treadwear.
