All season tires

Hi folks. I'm getting ready to buy new all season tires. I have been asking around but I've found in the past logging onto here and asking away has helped me enormously. Any suggestions? I'm not looking to pay over $200 a tire. Thanks!

Why all season tires and not summer tires?

All-Season tires very depending on what your looking for. The best tire in the snow, that I've used, were made by Continental. They were almost as good as a snow tire. The best for summer handling were Pirellli. I did track days on those.

I live in Virginia so we are going to have snow. I've never driven a rear wheel drive in the snow, and I need new tires anyway. I really don't have the money to buy summer tires then tires for the snow as well. So I figure all season tires are the best way to go.

I hear you but season tires are generally closer to no season tires as they make compromises for all year weather. You'd be better off buying some summer tires and winter tires. It's the same money out if pocket in the long run as both sets will last longer.
Not to mention, a great way to ruin a great handling sports car is to compromise on tires. One thing not to cheap out on with any vehicle is tires as they're your only contact to the road.
