Depends on where you live though. If you get snow I wouldn't suggest any sport tires unless they are all seasons.

Maybe look at Firestone INDY 500, if they are in a size you are looking for. Repectable ratings on TireRack. When I was looking for a 195-50-15 tire, these had the best snow rating out of all that I found.
There pry are better choices, but these are worth a look.

But like CivicSIracer said, it really depends on where you live.

I picked up a set of Nitto NT 450's from www.discounttiredirect.com for 49bucks each and free shipping. With warranty and valve stems it came to about 250. I had them mounted today, they seem pretty nice. Not loud and good dry grip. I'll let you know how they do when it rains. They are traction A certified which is one down from the best AA.
