That I am looking at for my own use, primarily because Sams Club carries them. BFGoodrich G-force A/S and Dunlop SP Sport Signature. The latter seems to be a revised version of the SP Sport 5000. Both seem to be designed to favor three of the 4 seasons, and based on your living in Oregon, I'm guessing that winter snows are a rare but not unheard of occurance for you. (My son lives in Portland). These would seem perfect for that - good performance on dry and wet roads, non-lethal on snow. Unfortunately the BF Goodrich would require you to make a "plus zero" size adjustment from 215-55-16 to 225-50-16. I have done this for winter tires for my Aero Wagon, and was really happy with the result, but tires in the wider size tend to be a little more expensive. The BF Goodrich (made by Michelin, btw) is fairly unique in having a Kevlar cap ply, which meand no flat-spotting (aka "morning thump").
Both of these tires were rated well by Tire Rack.
