Default Feel free to recommend tires

I just bought my first lexus; gs 300 with 92k miles.

I want to put fresh tires on it as the dealership mentioned that I will need 3 new tires after another 10k.

I live in central NJ and work in Manhattan so I driive approximately 100 miles r/t per day which is mostly highway.

We do get snow occasionally.

What do you think would be the best set of tires for my situation?

I would rather not have to change tires in the winter.

Thanks in advance.

I live in Central NJ also. I have a set of Dunlop SP5000 tires. They are very good.

Man tirerack is confusing. Some people say these tires have NO snow traction and others say they have great snow traction. I was thinking about getting these to use with my new 16's (thanks GS4WILL hehe) but now I'm back to square one. I didn't wanna buy snow tires cuz we only get snow a few times a year. What to do.. what to do..

Yeah.. the idea wasn't to spend a ridiculous amount of $$ on my winter/road trip tires though.. i already did that with the summer S03's..
