I am looking to replace my OEM goodyear tires with a better tire. These were halfway decent except snow but I always felt the tires were no match for the car.

I'm looking to get a good tire at a responable price. Something around $150 plus install would be nice. I live in NY so we do get snow and sometimes we get a lot. I don't want to change to winter tires so they have to be all seasons with decent snow traction. I do drive agressively sometimes (who doesn't with this car) and I need them to last at least 25-30k miles.

The tires I'm looking at are:
Michelin Primacy MXM4 $160ea. Overall good reviews from people with similar cars. Negative, only one reviewer had the tires for 30k and didn't like them.

Michelin Primacy MXV4 $175ea. Tire rack test rating 7.14 Lastest reviewer has g37x and doesn't like tire and mentions something about a new formula. Previous G drivers love the tire.

Yokohama AVID ENVigor $132ea. Tire rack test rating 6.99. G Reviewers think they are decent to great.

Bridgestone Turanza Serenity $165. Tire rack test rating 6.74. G Reviewers think they are decent to good.

I'm leaning towards the Yokohama's.
Thanks.

Yoko's are more a performance all season tire, not touring based like the other three. So, they will handle better around corners and have sharper response but will wear quicker and run a tad louder.

I wouldn't let one or two poor reviews scare you away from a tire. The overall ranking and score is the bigger picture to look at. Of the three touring options I would pick the MXV4, MXM4, then Turanza in that order.
