my tires are shot so I need some new ones. These are the choices that I have narrowed it down to. what would be the best all around tire? I already have some nice snow tires so they don't need to be that great in the snow. I'd like a good handling, quiet, comfortable tire with atleast a 60K tread warranty on it.
