I am about to buy a GS300 and it has Bridgestone Protenza RE92. I test drove the car with some snow the other day and the tires spun and traction was terrible. Tirerack rates them terrible especially in snow and rain.
I want to replace the with a better all season tire and need recommendations.
I know that dedicated snow would be better, but I cant see paying $140.00 twice a year to have snows mounted/dismounted.
Any advice on a good all season tire that is decent in snow ?
Thanks

The RE92 is the worst tire ever made. Very quiet tire but only good for dry pavement. In rain and snow......they are are worst. In my opinion, they should be discontinued.
I think you will find the Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S a great compromise between performance and price for an all season radial that is decent in light to moderate snow, outstanding in rain and on dry pavement and is very quiet.

Why don't you want to look into #1 rated at TireRack Potenza A/S 960 Pole position (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/survey...jsp?type=UHPAS)? Can't comment on deep snow driving yet, but in a heavy rain and light snow/slush/ice handling is excellent!!! And its ultra high performance A/S.
