This time of year I need to put in my annual plug for Nokian WR G2 all season/winter tires. They are Consumer Reports top rated performance winter tire right now.

I've been running them all year long for a few years. The only all season tire that works well in slush and snow (most so-called all seasons are really 3 seasons).

Of course they are still a compromise. And not cheap. But if you want to run one set of tires all year and live up north (I am 40 miles north of Boston), these are the only tires I found that I liked.
