Default Tires

Over the last several months there have been some posts about what tires to get for the ES.
There were several suggestions and responses and we haven't seen much in the way of
feedback from people who recently purchased tires.
Do you like them, how do they handle in dry, wet, snow, road noise, wear etc.
I'm starting my search for new rubber for my '97 and wanted to hear from those who have
purchased tires lately and what they thought of them.
I'll need an all-season tire that will do well with snow (especially after last winter in the north east).
Have Michelin Pilot XGTH4's now but don't think they perform well in snow and don't think
they have lasted very long.
Considering Dunlop SP Sport 5000 and Continental ContiExtreme Contact.
The Continental gets good ratings and the price is tough to beat.
Anyone have experience with these tires and can provide feedback?
Others I may have overlooked?
TireRack is a great source of information!
Thanks

Check out the Michelin X-One (X-Radial sold by Costco), it's all-season and great in snow and rain, with very long thread life (+600). Double check the speed rating of these tires for your vehicle.
