Salutations: Try a set of Pirelli's if you can find them - I run Pirelli Ice and Snow year round and replace them every two seasons.. Up here in Nova Scotia (Canada) you are stuck with this reallllllyyyyy loooonggggg period of wet and slushy in the late fall and early spring and for the 3 or 4 months of summer - they have the advantage of being very good in heavy rain when it comes.. They hum a bit on the road - but they are sticky enough on hot pavement and I've largely given up on all season/pure sport as a dangerous waste of cash in any kind of foul weather - which is where the car shines anyway..
