The SP 5000 is a great bet, even if you are not driving it in the snow. It's a smooth, quiet tire that's also great in the rain. Otherwise, if you wanted to do something a bit more performance oriented, you could use the new Firestone Firehawk SZ50. This tire will be even better in the rain, and a much sportier, and gripper dry handler. When you're ready, or if you'd like more info, please contact me DIRECT @ 800.428.8355 x395, thanks Aaron
