Summer tires in the winter

ChrisSlicks

If snow is really that rare in Seattle then a set of all seasons may be a more economical choice. Not as good as snow tires in the snow but will be considerably better than Summer tires. The downside is they won't have the ultimate traction of a Summer tire in the Summer, but they will wear better.

You can also get one of the performance winter tires which will give you pretty good dry pavement traction along with light snow traction that is still well above the best of the all-seasons. Something like the Michelin Alpin.

The problem with tires is that they are always a compromise, so if you can afford it it's best to have a winter set and a summer set if you live in a climate where you expect to do some snow driving.
