My opinion: go with Avon Tech M550s. They are better than any other all season tire I've ever used, which includes numerous Michelins (MXV4s, MX4s), Yokohama (the tC's stock S32As), Continental (Contitouring Extreme), various Bridgestone Potenzas (RE092s, RE95s and others) and Goodyear Eagle LS.

thanks eddnog.. so how are the avon's in snow? any trouble balancing them?

Haven't experienced snow yet; no trouble at all balancing them.

Some people have experienced a small issue where the tires develop a small flat spot if the car is left to sit several days in cold weather, but after driving 5 miles or so it goes away. I only experienced this with my 225/40-18 size of this tire (ony 18x8.5 wheels); on my 215/45-17 size they don't do it at all (same size as stock). I had to go back from the 18s to stock size because of rubbing issues (partially also due to my brake kit, which pushed the wheels out farther than stock).
