Want some long lasting tires,lol try these on for size. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....mpare1=yesLook at the warranty! 6 years or 100K! Tread should be good in rain and quiet, not sure about snow....Notice the clear path for water from center out, and blocks push water to edges. also a clean line in outer block to drain. I just have reservations about snow.
The Avid trz has more of a block pattern so yes it would be better in snow probably, I dont care to use directional tires though, limits rotation to one side only, but thats just me.http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes
Interesting that it guides 80% of the water all to one side, and it would trap some water in the inner half, due to no sipes leading water from groove outward. But should be a good tire also, especially for the money.

I think I just found my next tire, and should be able to get it locally cheaper than TireRack's current pricing, when I'm ready.
