Good all season tires?
Since the shmucks on NASIOC are being of no help at all I will ask here. What all season tires do you recommend and why? I'm looking to pickup some semi decent tires, a few tahoe trips but mainly daily driving. No track use. I don't know anything about tires so all input is appreciated. I will be wrapping 275/35 on 18x9.5 wheel. Thanks ahead!

Myth: Wide tires provide better traction under all weather conditions. In fact, putting oversize snow tires on a car delivers better snow traction.
Fact: The opposite is actually true. Wide tires tend to "float" on deep snow, and the tread lugs never have a chance to "dig" through to the road surface to gain traction. Narrow tires are a better option in deep snow. The tire acts similarly to a knife cutting through butter; the blade works best when using the narrow edge to push through the butter rather than the wide flat side of the blade.

Hmmmm everyone goes for DWS?
I dont have my stocks any more but im picking up some RPF1s in a few weeks hopefully 18x9.5 +38 which will be my only set and every day set for every day driving. i go to tahoe a lot but not when the roads are covered in snow. i just want a nice beefy setup that runs nice. like i said i dont know anything about tires so im open to all opinions. thanks
