Default all season tires?? why is this so hard?

Trying to find a nice set of A/S tires.....I live in PA but travel all over the New England area so im looking for a good balance. Something quiet on the road but still snow worthy. There are so many different reviews and prices!!! Please help......Here is a couple I have been checking out.....235/45/17
P.S.- IMO directionals are NOT the way to go, what do you think????? -Thanks

Hi

I have the conti extremes on my Volvo V70 wagon turbo and they were touted excellent and the price is right. The only downside is that this year there was no snow but they are excellent in the rain.

On my 3.0 Quattro l have the P6's but l believe they are pricey.

You never mentioned what engine you have and if you have a Quattro or not.

I also live in PA and have had great luck with the Michelin Pilot HX MXM4. I will be needing new ones soon and will more than likely get these again. They are a bit expensive but they hold up well and perform well in snow and dry weather too.

I drive in Michigan winters on Yokohama Avid H4s and they handle great, low noise, and good price.
