Best all season tires for winter area's
So I'm moving back home to Alaska and don't want to deal with the hassle of changing tires back and forth every summer/winter with studs. Anyone who lives in winter areas what's the best all season tire you recommend? I have the stock 20's on with Goodyear Fortera's now 265/50/20. The Fortera's don't seem to do great when it rains here in Texas so I can't imagine they would do well in the snow!
Thanks!
Thanks!

Do you have the OEM Forteras that came from the dealer or have you replaced them yet?
The OEM Forteras are made specifically to Chrysler's specs and only last about 30k miles.
I replaced my originals with Goodyear spec ones and they have been wonderful and have a significantly different rubber compound and treadlife.
I have 30k+ miles on the new ones and they are barely worn yet.
I think the Goodyear set are great all around, but Chrysler should stop selling vehicles with 'trial size' tires.

I'm amazed that you got that much out of them. Bridgestone Dueler Alenzas are definitely a superior tire, although they do cost twice as much unless you snag a deal or live in Shenandoah and not NoVa.

For wet, snow and ice, the tire needs a lot of sipes.
I usually run Cooper tires, even the touring tires on my wifes Vue work great in the winter.
My '09 D1500 came with new Good Year Duratracs (20") and they have been working great this winter.
They are on the aggressive side for an AT, but not bad for year round driving.
