Default Need good all weather tire for Colorado driving

well as it states I need new tires, i currently are driving on Michelin cross terrains and they are just about done and really enjoyed the tire but am looking for a solid replacement. I have been reading things about the latitude but are they good for snow? Also have looked at the MTX and the durler any suggestions?

Can't go wrong with Michelin.

I wish Michelin would make their HydroEdge in a size to fit my car. My daughter has them for her van, and they are terrific. They are very quiet, do not hydroplane, and provide superior traction in snow. She's had them for 55,000 miles, and there's plenty of tread left.

The closest thing to a HydroEdge in a size for my car is the Goodyear Fortera Triple Tread.

Up here in Montana I have been very pleased with the Cooper Discoverer ATR. The dirt/mud/snow/wet weather traction is fabulous. It is a light truck tire so perhaps not as smooth as the OEM Integrities passenger radial but a much more practical tire for my Pilot.

Michelin LTX M/S. Just getting ready to swap out for another set after 74,000 miles and still 5/32 left. Great tire with obvious long life. Good in snow and wet. Rotated every 5k.

Nokia WR G2 ... made by Finland, it's got to know how to take the snow and ice, plus can be all year round tire. Warn you first, it isn't cheap.

I can't conceive of a better AW tire than my GY Fortera TripleTreds. I'm about halfway through their life and I would absolutely buy them again.

Just put a new set of LTX M/S on a few weeks ago. I was honestly scared to face another New England winter with the Integritys. They only had 15K on them, but are now off to a happy home on Craigslist. Last winter my Pilot actually slid down my driveway about 5-6 while parked overnight. A few more feet and it would have been in the street. I almost slid into a parked truck while STOPPED last year to. I was on a mix of gravel/snow/ice and a very small bump/dip caused my Pilot to literally start sliding even though I was not moving. No snow experience yet with the LTX but they are 10 times better in the rain. Very happy so far.
