New Tires Needed

Ordered new 19" wheels recently and now need new tires. I already know the size I want, just looking for any recommendation on brand of tire. Pros and Cons. I live in MD, so we do get bad weather in the winter and I will need to drive the car a little here and there.

Was looking at the Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110

Going with 235/35/19 and 265/30/19

The V12 EVO is a great summer performance tire but is not one that you would want to drive in winter or on any snow or ice. The two ultra high performance all-season tires I know of that come in both sizes are the General Gmax A/S03 and Continental Extreme Contact DWS.

Perfectly sums up the best options for the money. Hankooks are great tires for summer, but if it gets cold/snowy you don't want to run them.
