Tire Suggestions

So I am in need a new set of tires and was wondering if I could get some pointers from some who have expierenced good performance without spending a crapload of money.

I am running on the falken ZE-912 225/45 17's. They seen to be pretty good for most part but cornering hard I get squealing maybe due to the sidewall design.

I was looking for a tire with a higher speed rating than 130mph, I'd like to max this baby out one day. Was looking at the Falken FK-452's.

I also live in colorado, the ZE-912's suck in the snow, lol. I know the 452's probaby won't be any better in snow but I mostly looking for dry performace but would like something ok in the snow if any of you have any suggestions. thanks

You live in Colorado I would think you would want to run winter tires. However you could try the new Continental Extreme Contact DWS.

If you decide you like them call up discount tire direct and have them price match onlinetires.com price.

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus. I put them on my max this summer. Haven't had a chance to try them out in snow yet, but they seem to do great on everything else.

They look like a great all season tire for the money but continental's don't last long and they have a very soft sidewall but this might be the best i'm gonna find right now since I don't really wanna pay more that $120 a piece.
Thanks for your help.

These pilots have pretty good ratings, kinda expensive at $157 a piece but i guess you get what you pay for right.

I have the Bridgestone Potenza's and they are awesome. One of the main reasons I got them was because they are quite...and they are.
