Plus the OE wheels would need to keep their weird, rare lug nuts, when I would prefer to go with one set of McGard spline-drive bearing conical-seat lugs, like my Legacy uses now...

So... for now, I think the OE wheels are gonna have to get some good all-season rubber in a few months. The Toyo T1-Rs on the car are good tires, but the fronts are knackered on the outboard shoulders, and the left rear is plugged from a nail hole, which created a wheel-stud and lug nut replacement adventure... I like the Toyos, and I have a set of them on the Miata.

But I am thinking I probably need something that is pretty darn good in the winter, and a decent touring tire otherwise. I find myself driving the SVX a bit more leasurely than my Legacy GT... not that the SVX doesn't have the power... it just lends itself to touring type driving.

Anybody have any good luck with an all-season that is good in the white-stuff, and competent and quiet otherwise?

I can honestly say first hand that I had Goodyear assurance triple treads on my 95 FWD cutlass and it drove amazing in rain, snow/ice and dry. They are expensive so i'm sure there is something that is as good for less.
