Good replacement car tires?

Well, the wifes car is in need of new tires for the upcoming winter. It is a Ford Fusion, all wheel drive and I am hoping to find some advice on what is good without spending a ton-o-cash. Not looking to do studded, just a decent all season tire.

I have gotten to know good truck tires, but car tires are beyond me... Any input appreciated

Thanks,

Pat

Blizzaks. A bit soft for summer but great on slippery roads. I know several people that run them year round.

Blizzaks are pretty much the best if you have bad weather in your area.

I run Nokian WRG2's. The only winter tire that can be run year round with a 60,000 mile wear out warranty. I used to have firehawks on our Nissan seR, but in the snow and rain they were horrible. The Nokian tires tend to push a little in the dry when you run them hard (90 +%), but in the rain and snow, they work excellent.
