I have the 555Rs, they are pretty nice. They dont last long because they are made out of a softer rubber. They would suck in the winter.

What? Are you friggin serious? Paradas good in the snow and rain? I heard the opposite and you can just tell from the treads.

My wife's Protege5 has the Dunlop Sport SP5000 and they work pretty well in the snow and dry.
