Recommend some tires for me..

I just put the SS away for the winter, with almost 16K on the clock. The PZeros still have plenty of tread on them, but I'm thinking I might end up getting some new tires next year anyway.

My four biggest reasons:

1. Road noise has increased noticeably the past few thousand miles
2. I honestly don't need a performance tire, given that I really don't drive the car hard at all
3. I want something less sticky so I can minimize rock chips on the gills - I bought the splash guards and the chips still keep adding up
4. I'd like better performance in the rain and cold - the PZeros aren't bad, but I'd like something better

What do you guys recommend? Is it possible to get tires that aren't actual snow tires, but will be acceptable for light snow situations?

the zero's have a UTQG rating of 220.......just look for tires on Diuscount Tire or Tire Rack that have a HIGHER rating....they will last a LOT longer. Put in the tire sizes and see what is available in your price ranges.

I agree Continetal DWS probably the best choice but hard to find right now.
