My choice in tires

I need new tires. I am currently looking at the Michelin Pilot XGTH4 and the BFGoodrich KDWS. Ant opinions on those two? Also if you have any other suggestions in the same price range go right ahead.

What size are you looking for? What size are your wheels? Do you have a WRX? Sedan or wagon? You'll get lots of good input here on tire experience.

I have a '02 WRX sedan. Stock rims. I go up skiing in the winter so now performance needs to be pretty good. I am leaning towards the BFGoodrich, cause it is cheaper, and it looks like it out performs the Michelin. Performance needs to be good, and I want a decent tread life.

For best snow performance, stick with the 205/55-16s. The Pilot won't work because Subaru specifies at least an H speed rating. I'd recommend the Conti Extreme Contact. It's a good V rated performer and our customers rate it highly for use in the snow.
