    toyo proxes 4's are some of the best all seasons i've seen but then again theyre more of a middle atlantic tire where you get only occasional snow.

    Traction TAs are ok I guess, problem with all seasons up here is a lot of the better for spring, summer and fall aren't great on snow.

    I agree Zak, it always seems you get an all season that is biased one way or the other. The TA's did great last year for me when there was 1.5 feet of snow on the ground, never got stuck or had problems with traction but could still cruise a clover leave at 40 when the roads were clear and dry...

    +1 I have about 60k on mine right now. I am over due to replace them. I love the traction on these tires. it cant compare with a tire like a Azenis for dry traction but still do very well. also I have yet to loose traction in the rain and i am on the wear bars.

    These tires are finicky on snow/ice. when new they work great. after you have about 25-30k on them then i wouldnt be using them in the winter anymore. They must have a harder compound as the tread wears. they are still good on pavement (dirt/gravel too), not not so much snow.
