New tires for my 08 Hardtop

I need to replace the original 175 65R 15 Continentals on my 08 Hardtop. I have only owned this car for two months and have no experiance with these tires when there were new. I live in the midwest and would like a good all weather tire. What would be a good choice? Thanks

Well two things come to mind.

1. A good set of "Snow Tires" not "Allseasons" will work better for you if you are in an area that get more than a few inches of snow each year.

2.Head over to the Tire, Wheels and Brakes section here and you will find all kinds of information. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...and-brakes-36/
