Different strokes for different folks. There is no better tire since everyone's needs are different. Notice the New Englander has dedicated snows while the Mid-Atlantican settle on all-season and the Southerner only cares about grip
I will say the Grand Touring All-Seasons seems to be the better overall package b/c they have extended tire wear and most importantly, they ride the most quite while still offering decent performance levels for in the all-season categories. BUT (always the butt), the cost is hard to swallow -for me. I reasoned that the roads around here are prone to destroy tires/rims before I can actually get the full lifespan out of them so I went cheap. The Generals were $275 but I really did want the PureContacts at $448; however, not at that price difference.
