Default All season tires.

I have yet to find a decent all season New England tire. Take a look at BFG Traction T/A, they give pretty decent traction in the winter although the tire is expensive.

Blizzak are great winters but they wear fast. the Nokian Hakkapeliita, I believe are better tires. No one stock them up here so I had to get them at Maynard's in Nashua.

The Michelin MXM4 is probably the worst all season tire I have ever had. They were standard on Mazda6 5 door and it's wet traction was dismal.

BR, I haven't been the Belknap tire since Wiggins left, so it may be true that things went downhill. Wiggins ran a tight ship. The family business has since move its tire contract to Northeast Tire in Belmont.
