Default Spring/Summer/Fall Tires???

I need to find a good tire for my RX 400h. I already have winter tires that I'm satisfied with, but I need a rugged tire during the other non-winter months. Does anyone out there recommend anything? I'd like the tires tread to be a bit aggressive...

Not sure what you mean by aggressive, but my Bridgestone Alenzas are doing well. Tirerack.com is the best place to shop around and compare prices with.

I bought my winter tires at Tirerack.com and they are awesome. Tirerack has extremely good prices too. What I mean by aggressive is, I'd like it to be a little more like a SUV/Truck tire than a car tire, but still ride nice. Thanks for the tip, I'll take a look...

The Alenzas are are more trucklike IMO. I had them on my 330. The price is right too. You might like them enough to skip the winter tires. They are solid in the snow.

Thanks kitlz and adamsjeep. I live in Downeast Maine, so I can not forgo the studded snow tires. It gets really icy and snowy and the winters are tough. It looks like I'll be trying the Alenzas. I've heard good things about them.

Goodyear Forteras are an aggressive tire with 120000km/70000miles tread warranty. The only downside as I have them on currently, is they are noisy. I have 12000km on them now and they still look the same as new

Let me throw in for Yokohamas. The Parada is their SUV tire. I chose the Touring Avid Envigor because I don't even pretend this is a truck. They are very quiet and great in the rain.
