What would be the best to get...only small use in the snow mostly dry/wet. Also...16's or 17's for these all-weather tires? Any recommendations? :)

I think the size really depends on what you prefer and what you are willing to spend on tires. 17" tires are more expensive for a compareable 16". So you need to take that into consideration.

I'd go the www.tirerack.com and do some research on there. They have customer feedback on most of the tires there so it should give you a good idea.

i don't know how my kuhmos would do in the snow but they work well in the rain and great when it's dry. great prices on those too of course.

heres what Luke at tirerack.com said

Maximum Performance:
These are the absolute best performing tires on the market. Great steering response and wet/dry traction (not
for use inthe snow!!!) which is at home on the track.

1.)S-03 Pole Position
2.)Pilot Sport
3.)S-02 Pole Position (discontinued)
4.)AVS Sport
5.)P-Zero Rosso

There is 1 glaring omission in this list. It is the BFG G-Force T/A KD. The reason for this tire not being on
the list is because of its lack of versatility. It is the best performing tire in the dry but, is almost scary
in the wet.

Ultra High Performance:
A step down form the Max tires but, still exceptional performance which fits most application for a street tire
that can be
driven very aggressivley.

1.) Firehawk SZ50 EP
2.) Potenza RE730's (extreme noise issues)
3.) A520
4.) G-Force KDW
5.) Sport 8000
6.) HTR Z II

3-6 are all very close in performance levels.
The noise issues of the 730's are mostly related
to larger/heavier cars with rear wheel drive.

Ultra High Performance All Season
Performance tires which are capable of going through the snow.

1.) Sport 5000
2.) Michelin Pilot Sport A/S
3.) AVS DB (quietest tire I have ever driven)
4.) BFG G-Force KDWS
5.) P7000 Super Sport

Budget Performance Tires
Summer performance with a cost effective tire when your budget is a concern. (based on performance not cost)

1.) Sumitomo HTR Z II
2.) Sumitomo HTR Z
3.) Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 (best ride quality in this group)
4.) Yokohama AVS Intermediate


I hope this helps you in your tire selections

Thanks, Luke@tirerack

Im surprised he didnt put the potenza RE950's in there...what size wheels were these tire recommendations for?

I would pick the Bridge Stone Potenza SO-3's out of the max performance class. A friend of mine swaped his P Zero's off for the SO-3's and they kick ass. They are also at a good price for the level of improvement they create.
