195/65/15, minimum H-rated.
This is for my g/f's car that's driven in Dallas area. She's not a spirited driver. All she needs is something comfy, quiet, with good wet traction and that can also handle occassional icy/snowy conditions. They don't get a lot of that wintery stuff in Dallas, but if/when they do, I don't want her spinning out of control.
I was initially going to go with Yoko Avid H4S as I used them in Florida and I thought they were pretty good. However, from the reviews on TireRack, their winter performance isn't too good. Not sure if the Bridgestone G009 is any better in that respect. Both cost the same at TR right now ($69 each).
Can you suggest anything better in this price range. I don't care if they don't have a ton of dry grip - controling the car in the dry is usually never a problem anyway. It's the wet/snowy stuff that needs special attention.
Her last set of tires were Nokian WR which obviously handle winter conditions very well, but wear out kind of fast in high Texas heat. They're pretty expensive, too.
