HippoSleek is an unknown quantity at this point
Yeah - I think any of the XGTs are good in all season format - the Pilot all seasons are supposed to be the hot ticket (think year round AND high performance - of course they cost as much as a set of winter tires and a set of summer tires.  Honestly, I'd check TireRack's reviews for good all seasons - a good set of those should be more than enough for most cars.

The other thing is that snow tires wear FAST on dry pavement - which is what you get in DC 95% of winter.  I don't think you'd get more than one winter out of a set of Blizzaks.  All seasons can either be run on your rims or get a new set and keep reusing them until they get hard.  (If I were thinking ahead, I would have bought a second set of wheels b/c the second time you swap them, you just bought some cheapos! &nbsp

Mine are sitting in the closet and will likely go back on the car before long b/c a) the RE's are shot; b) its winter; and c) I'm selling it and don't want the new owner to see what I've done to the tires on there &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
