I'd like to post my two cents here, too. I bought my Crossie in March 04 with the Continental All Season tires. They are quite good in the rain.
I have run them all this year and I will be parking the car for most of the Winter as we get a fair amount of ice and snow here. I have done a fair amount of research and I am going to try a different set next Spring. I will be parking the car on a set of PS2 Michelin tires, if they ever show up. I ordered them a week ago and will be waiting another week at last report. No, I didn't buy them online, I am beginning to wish that I had. One large factor to consider is replaceability if you should have a problem. At this point in time, I am not impressed by the availability of the PS2 in this market. Tire Rack seems to have them, everywhere else that I have shopped locally just gives me a blank stare. The local Goodyear outlets are aso the Continental outlets here, and there seems to be good availability on both brands for the Crosssie. A wordy reply, but don't forget the topic of ease of replacement in your decision.
