Check out the Toyo Proxes 4 Plus ...... an all season tire with good snow traction too. Great tread rating, quiet and fabulous price & warranty.

I run summer tires and I think that late in the year when it is cold out but not time for snows just yet, or in my case time to put the car away, that the grip is really poor and the car slides too easily. If I had all seasons on the grip would be better.

Just because people run snows in the winter that does not stop them from using all season tires from spring to late fall. You do not want to run snows until it is cold or they wear away the really soft rubber quite quickly.

One person offered his opinion and you jumped down his throat.
I suspect his reasoning was what I have just mentioned.

Spot on onehundred80! I have always run AS tires even though I'm in Florida just for the simple fact that the tread ratings are twice that of summer treads. They are HP rated and just as sticky in my opinion, and much more cost effective to boot. I figured the Toyos fit the bill exactly as you described.

The all season tires usually are better in rain. Than the summer tires you will change out every 5-10,000 miles.

These are great tires, got 4 new ones put on. Keep the pressure higher than what you bought with the Crossfire, for they are High Performance. Ask the tire Dealer what is the recommended Pressure.
