Default Cheap long lasting

I trying to look for some low priced tires that have a long life and handle in the rain and possibly snow. I need a great DD tires. I don't need it to handle in the dry. I have a set of autox rims with rs-3.

continental dws. i was out one night, not thinking it was gonna snow. there was 3-4 inches of non-plowed snow on the roads my whole trip home and i made it without sliding out or anything. amazing tires that, to me, are cheap and they have a 540 tread rating. best all seasons hands down in my book.

I'm super happy with mine and I've put at least 10k miles on them so far and have a ton to go. Great traction in dry and snow, wet its kind of sketchy but nothing too scary.

I have a set of Hankook Ventus V4 ES H105, nice tire for highway driving, good in rain, nice grip in dry and cold conditions. did not try them with snow, use snow tires for my commuting. They were inexpensive and a good buy, some review say to stay away from snow and ice with them.

There are some other nice all seasons out there. Just don't expect too much from a tire designed to do everything, but not anything really well.

Also used Kumho Ecsta ASX. Pick a tire on the Tirerack or Tiresdirect site and do a search on this board, for more specific info.

I had Kumho ASX's for a while, they did not have the best acceleration grip in the snow, but they stopped and turned GREAT in the snow, very controllable. Also heard great things about the Continental DWS
