Radar Dimax All Weather

The Radar Dimax All Weather is a much lower cost alternative for All Weather tires.  Here is their ad:

The Dimax All Weather is Radar's Grand Touring All-Season tire developed for the drivers of sedans, coupes, station wagons, crossovers and SUVs looking for daily driving comfort combined with confident performance in dry, wet and light snow conditions. The Dimax All Weather is designed as an all-weather tire to meet industry severe snow service requirements qualifying for the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol alongside its all-season performance and is intended to function as a one-tire solution for drivers that experience all four seasons but don't receive sufficient snowfall to require a dedicated winter tire.

The Dimax All Weather utilizes a silica-enriched all-season tread compound molded into a V-Formation directional tread design engineered to deliver long-life and dry, wet and wintertime performance. Longitudinal dry grip is buoyed by alternating the center tread blocks for uninterrupted contact when accelerating or decelerating. The blocks are connected shoulder-to-shoulder with embedded support in the tread for ideal stiffness and cohesion to support precision steering. Aqueduct Grooves channel water away from the contact patch, to fight hydroplaning with the aid of circumferential grooves designed into the pattern. The sawtooth design of the central grooves, alongside the stepped design of the shoulder blocks, create traps for ideal snow-to-snow traction in winter weather while enabling stiffer tread blocks for excellent dry and wet performance.

These can be purchased from TireRack.com (or tires-easy.com) for about $80 per tire. They may work as good as the Laufenn G Fit 4S tires I previously mentioned, but the Laufenn tires have a 60k mile warranty whereas these have a 50K mile warranty.
