I have the Pilot Exalto AS (all season) 205/50/16 on my 93 CSE. I bought them new about 10,000 miles ago. I live in Maryland, and haven't been in snow with them yet. I've driven in plently of rain, and on plenty of hot dry surfaces.
I bought the Michelins because they had the highest rating for HP AS tires on Tire-Rack. The car handles nicely with these tires under every road condition I've encountered (compared to the Firestone Firehawk GA 215/50/16 that I replaced).
I put Bridgestone Potenza G009 all seasons on my wife's 98 CSE, also in a 205/50/16. These appear to do just fine, but are a touch more noisy, and the 98 doesn't feel as "connected" to the road as the 93 on dry surfaces. I haven't been in snow with these either. The Bridgestone cost significantly less than the Michelins (which is why I chose them). They were rated #2 in Tire Rack's high performance AS survey.
