All Season Tires - Suggestions

What is the preferred choice for all season tires? I know Nitto Invos are probably the most popular tires on here, but they are a summer tire.

Stay with summer tires if you don't have any snow. Otherwise go for Winter Tires if you will be driving in snow. 4 seasons are no good for rear wheel traction and when it gets very cold.

General Tire G-Max AS-03 are what I swapped too. So far I love them. They are an all season tire with amazing grip. A few people have them on here. It's a fairly new tire, reasonable priced too.

Continental DWS (Dry , Wet, Snow) are highly rated as an all season tire that works very well in snow but is hard to get the rear tire size 275/40/20 as that is on national back order. The fronts 245/45/20 are available.

These are what I want as they have the best highway "low noise rating" but you just can't get a full set right now.

Those general tires look pretty good, but I want to go wider than stock.

Anyone think I'll have problems with the Continental Extreme Contact DWS in a 295/40ZR20 on the stock rears?

wanted to mention the Continental Extreme Contact DWS and the General Tire G-Max AS-03 are made by the same company.

Anyone see a problem with running the 295/40 on the stock 9" rear wheels?
