I have Michelin Hydroedge on my Subaru Outback, and They are exceptional in every way, but $120. They are the top of the line Michelin, and I would not consider any other Michelin over them. I normally buy Firestone, Bridgestone, as I have a great dealer and have good luck with them but they wear out too fast on Subaru's. I use the Fuzion HRI (Bridgestone) on my Focus SVT and even in the 45/17 size, it's OK in snow, and very good otherwise. looks like it will go 40,000 and is quiet and good in rain. I have been debating Fuzion HRI for my PT Touring, 55/16, $80, but may try the BF Goodrich Traction T/A "T" rating based on rave reviews on Tire Rack with promise of better snow performance, equal dry performance to Fuzion, and 70,000 mile rating. $70 each too. The OEM BFG Traction T/A are completely different from the "T" version, and are hated on Tire Rack, which backs up the earlier comment on them in this thread.
