Thanks for advice. I had settled on Pep boy Futura Touring HR which was H rated -- the LTe’s were S rated. (Were ever I looked I was advised to stick with H rated). They looked pretty good for the price 70/tire + 15 for mounting. About the cheapest I shopped around for. I also considered a Fuzion ...

Has anyone tried Futura 200 LTe from Pep Boys?I'm on a budget and trying to balance ride / all-season traction vs. performance.Any thoughts are appreciated?

Thank you all for advice. Dont get as much snow in Pittsburgh as Alaska but we do get some. I had read on Autobytell there where some complaints about it handling in snow. I have been using allseason tires for a while now (drive a dodge stratus) without problems but will consider snow tires if i buy...

I am interested in getting a vibe and leaning towards base. Aside from performanmce of engine, my big concern is how does it handle in snow. Is it worth getting AWD, i understand its not as responsive/peppy as FWD. I really want to purchase a FWD w/16" tires. Any thopughts and comments apreacia...
