Default Value all season tires - which one?

I need to replace my Nokian WRs with something. I would like an all season (I live in MN) for <~100/tire installed. I have these three on my short list:

Fuzion HRi - $325 - for 4 installed
Falken ZE512 - $376 for 4 installed
AvonTech M550 - $423 for 4 installed

I know there are better tires out there, but my car has 120k miles and I don't drive that aggressively. Thanks.

Ted

www.tirerack.com
Got a set of 4 BfGoodwrench Scorchers for $186 shipped for my z32, and two new rear's (yokohamas) after that for 86 bucks shipped because that car eats rear tires.
got a set of 4 all seasons for my wifes focus for $210 shipped as well, dont remember brand but I believe it was BF or Dunlop.
Also got 4 Brand new Cheapo Wheels, with brand new tires, mounted, balanced, and shipped for 550. for my Ford Probe.

Just gotta look for the clearence tires on there, i think you can get Dunlop graspic winter tires for like 45 bucks each right now, and those are usually pricy winter tires.

tires.com has better prices than tirerack and the shipping is free.

Hmm I dont think I have ever really seen a good deal on there myself, I usually shop around all the tire sites...1010 tires is another one w/free ship but they are usually the highest priced.

Cost plus shipping usually equals cost with free shiping

Whats the exact size you are looking for?

Well, from what I've noticed they do, but tirerack has great service.

Well, I jus tposted this same exact message a few threads up but will copy+paste it anyway at the risk of being called a post *****...
[blockquote]I have these in the stock sport size and have no complaints. They are cheap but great value for the price. I don't swap winter tires on (in NJ) so I needed something that wasn't just a summer tire. These are M+S and handled surprisingly well in the snow and ice storms we've had over the past few weeks. At 9k miles, they are still performing well and the tread looks new.

Ted,

Where are you in MN? I know a guy that works at discount tire co. in the Minneapolis area. They're top notch places for tires and will help you out every step of the way.
