I personally prefer to have an actual set of snow tires rather than a set of all seasons, but I also I also live north of the city so we get more snow. In the end you will always have better traction etc with an actual snow tire. YOu can get them fairly cheep if you shop around. As for all season, can't help you there because I don't use them anymore. I have a summer and winter set for my SVT. You may want to shop around and compair prices, because I think that anything good that you will find for an all season will cost quite a bit. Good Luck though.

I'm selling my Nokians Hakka's snow tires with 80%+ tread left on them (only used for a couple months last winter)

They're 195/60/15

I dunno if that's helpful, cause you're looking for tires for a 16" rim.

nokians r supposed to b the best and if they r better than my blizzaks that would b very impressive .my advice would be to buy a set of steel 15's and buy those nokians.i've never used a winter tire before this year and was astounded by the difference it makes winter driving like summer driving.i might miss sliding around abit.the other thing is nobody can slow down as quick as u will with 4 wheel discs and winter tires.,so u'll have to watch your rear view for a rear ender unless u need paint then just lock em up.note to self need new paint stop infront of slow moving suv

Does anyone know if a 15" rim will fit over our svt brakes? I'd buy em if they do.
