I am finally getting down to the nitty gritty and choosing only three options for A/S's. Here they are:

1. Nokian NRW's
2. Nokian WR's
3. Falken ZE 512's
*4. Michelin Hydroedge's (considering)
(In no particular order)

Now for some background info. I live in Toronto, ON where it snows off and on and the streets get plowed ASAP. I drive a 2001 Civic coupe that requires 185/70/14, but I'll probably go for a 195/65/14 as another option. I am concerned mostly getting the best all-round tire, knowing that A/S are a compromise all-in-itself.

I can get all three for roughly the same price so $$$ is not an issue. I have seen reviews on the Net about how the NRW performs better than the WR on dry conditions and all other categories, even though they have a more aggressive tread design (ie. chunky). However, the WR seems to be a newer tire that might have "better" advancements. Basically, I do not know which tire to get. Can someone please direct me to the light?

Furthermore, does anyone know of any places I can buy Falken 512's in Toronto?

Thanks in advance. I really appreciate the help.

I've heard really good things about the HydroEdge. It seems to be an all-around improved version of the MXV4 Plus. I was considering the Falken 512's and the Bridgestone Potenza RE950's... I went Bridgestone. I'll post a review once I can drive on them for a while.
