Default 2012 Tucson - Best all season tire for the money

I have a 2012 Hyundai Tucson, with the OEM tires on it. I have about 26k miles on them and will need to replace them soon. I'm really not sure what the difference between Crossover/SUV tires, but on Tirerack.com, the Crossover/SUV tires available for the Tucson didn't have the best ratings. I am looking for something quiet, with a smooth ride, and good traction any weather, preferably for under $170/tire. Anyone have any suggestions that worked well for you? Thanks.

Are you happy with the tires you currently have? Hyundai typically uses Hankook, Kuhmo, and Michelin (sometimes Continental). Hankook and Kuhmo are going to be your best "value for your money," tire.

It came with Kuhmo, stock. They are fine on the highway, but give a pretty rough ride, otherwise. They haven't seemed to do that well in the snow, either.

I am currently looking at:

Cooper CS3 Touring
Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring
Michelin Premier A/S
Continental ProContact TX
General AltiMAX RT43
Goodyear Assurance ComforTred Touring

He Kyle !!,
You sure are a busy guy !
Good to see you here also !
Have used Kuhmo Solus on my wife's 2013 Tuscon and my vehicle (different make) and they were a little noisy, but did just fine in snow.

Which model do you have?? I looked up mine (2015 SE AWD) and saw a set of Firestone Destination LE2. Deep snow was rated 8.0 on the survey. I think the Kumhos suck in the snow.

I drove the Tucson through 16 in snow up a mountain road all hell broke loose when the dash lit up like the fourth of July, but I did not get stuck. I can't complain about their performance in snow. Mileage till replacement , that was a different story.
As far as model, it has everything but birth control !!!

Haha, thanks man. I try to stay busy. The forums definitely help keep me occupied. I have really enjoyed helping where I can and providing an alternative to the local dealer.

I have no experience in the snow so I can't help much there. One thing I do like about Florida.

Wow, that is just crazy to me. I would probably wreck in those conditions.
