summer tires like the potenza s03 or michelin pilot sport ps2 handle great in the rain and in the dry, but the snow is another story completely. and they wear out in 20,000 miles.

if you aren't tracking your car, I would get a great all-around tire with good braking performance, sporty handling, and all-season traction like the Pirelli Pzero Nero M+S. It's a mud and snow rated tire (useful for trips to Tahoe), yet it still delivers nearly the same performance of a summer tire. Nearly being the operating word here. They won't be as good as Azenis in the dry, but then again, you have to ask yourself if you need it. the Rosso M+S will also last quite a while longer than max performance summer tires.

Well, look at the treadwear rating on the tires you are considering. M&S tires tend to last a lot longer

Falken Ziex ZE-512's are pretty good all season tires, and they won't break the bank either.
