Tire recommendations?NEED HELP!

[Gatecrasher3]

I really need some suggestions for some rubber. This is my first time buying new rubber for my 91 240sx and I really don?t know what to look for. I live in southern Ontario so I will be driving through a bit of snow this winter so that is something that I must keep in mind, but that?s not a huge problem to for me because it really does not snow that much anymore. I mostly just want good performing all seasons that will last a few years, and that also will not cost an arm.
Hahaha, so basically im looking for the perfect tire?.
I even really don?t know what manufacturer I should be looking at, yokohama perhaps?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
I have posted this question on some 240 sites, but I always manage to get great answers from anandtechers.

It doesn't snow much anymore? Global warming?

I like the BFGoodrich Traction T/A myself. That's what I plan to replace my Grand Prix's OE Goodyear tires with.

i have yokohama avs db from tirerack.com, great tires. Inexpensive, lots of grip in dry, and good traction in rain and light snow. Main tradeoff would be the tires wear out quick, but can't have everything.

any manufacturer that i should be looking at?

price depends on size, I think I paid like $65 a tire for 205/65/15

I think I'll get around 35K miles or so out of this set.

Unfortunately, I think this particular model is discontinued.
