[s-cars] tire Q

[Krasusky Paul (WQQ2PXK)]

Gents-

Hoping not to begin another episode of As the World Turns, but figured I'd
ask the geekiest tire geeks I knew of so...

...colleague is in need of new tires for his, er, forget it.  RWD,
235/50/V17.  Priorities are NOT performance (gag!), but a reasonably priced,
well rounded, good wearing tire that will get him around in the snow at
least OK then be good for rest of year.  Car came with Firestone Firehawks
or some junk like that.  Again, no breaking the bank here, he's, well,
cheaper than I am...

Suggestions?  Sources?

Oh, my AUDI //S6 runs 255/40/Y17 ContiSportContacts, there's the MAC for
ya...
