So i was thinking to get continentals all seasons and forget about it. Anybody go this route? If so, do they handle well (any all-season) or should I just get PSS and use those for winter months as well??

Thanks
p.s I know snow traction with Rear wheel and all season will still suck =[

My Benz (DD) C350 4MATIC came with All Seasons 18" Continentals ... I have no problems or issues for the past 2 years now.

No sorry. We don't tend to get snow in the valley and I'm not crazy enough to drive it up the mountains in the winter.

Go for 2 sets!

An all-season tire is always a compromise, which is not perfect in the summer and not perfect in the winter. I have both sets in 19" non-rft and I am happy with these.
I think NY winters are comparable with German winters. To have two sets is a very good invest in my opinion. Don't safe at your safety!

I always thought this with all seasons i.e. a compromise but try them and you will find they perform fine in the snow and ice and in the dry. I think a slight compromise in absolute performance is worth it without having to faff around with 2 sets of wheels
