Well, here's my criteria in order of importance.

1. I want them to be a great value, meaining they'll last a long time AND be inexpensive.
2. I want a tire that won't kill me on the way home if I get surprised by a touch of snow or black ice that the weather report didn't call in time for me to switch to my Winters or I decide to push my luck when I probably should have switched to Winters.
3. I want them to be quiet and comfortable for road trips.
4. I want excellent grip in the dry and wet. I'm willing to sacrifice some resonse for a more comfortable ride so softer sidewalls are okay.
5. If they can stand up to an autocross because there's only one left in the season and my current autocross tires are corded, great.

Still think I should get something other than the General's Dean? Other input?
