Default New Tires

help me pick out my tires.

I will be in the market for new tires come the holiday season (Christmas).

I currently have sumo's on my car, and there not the best. Im looking for something with good traction, good tread life and decent price.

tire size is 245/45z/17

your input would be greatly appreciated

or just tough out the sumi's. They are the best for the price, but i dont have experience with them in winter though, but they only have good grip when they are new.
