I had Nitto NeoGens before. They are all season tires and are decent on the snow. Now, Falken Ziexs in the other hand are awesome in the snow. I just put them on a week ago and they're also cheaper. They're rated #1 on all season performance tire on Consumer Reports.

I personally use the neogens in the summer since I have them mounted on my subzeros 17" and wow do they hook stock suspension and unbelievable around a turn just want to make you go harder and harder even with body roll but my .02cents is that they are not that expensive and well worth it. I love nittos got them on my 02ws6 as well the dragradials wow do they hook with a burnout.

My girlfriend has Falken Ziex Ze-512's on her 03 Tiburon and they are great in the snow. Much better than the stock Michelin Pilot Sports. They also handle pretty well, not the gripiest tires out there, but for daily driving they're fine.

Gottarex is right. I have Falken Ziex ZE-512's for winter. They are without a doubt the best all season tires that I have used in the snow. Dry traction is O.K. but wet and snow is great. I was using Falken Azenis for the summer and love them too. Falken tires are definitely a great tire for value and performance. I think.

I use the Neogens and Contiextremecontacts
I've heard the falkens get very loud over time. I currently use the Neogens (215/45/17) on Rota SDRs and also use the Contiextremecontacts (205/55/16)on stock wheels. The Neogens perform better in the dry, but the Contis kick butt in the snow. When I head up to tahoe I use the contis.
