My current tires are Yokohama AVS dB's and they are basically worn out. This time around, I'm looking to focus a little less on quietness/ride comfort and more on grip and responsiveness.

I can get Michelin MXX3's in my size for only $99 a tire (which I understand is a very good price), or I can Toyo Proxes T1-S for about $135/tire. Which would you guys suggest?

Also, the Yoko dB's sucked in the snow, but I could still get from point A to point B if I took my time and didn't go faster than 25mph. It doesn't snow often here, but when it does, how SOL will I be with either of these two summer tires?

TIA
