I have a 2001 Mazda Protege ES/2.0 with 195/50-R16 tires.
Is there any such thing as a good all-season tire in this size?
I live in Canada in Toronto and need to survive driving in snow a few
times a year! The stock tires are horrible for this (Dunlop sport
5000).
But I really dont want to bother with winter tires and rims.

Isn't there a thread about tires for Proteges already in progress?

Yes I saw the thread but there is no specific answer in there on
my size of tire. I'm looking for exact brand/model tire for this size
that is ok for all-season use. I've looked it up on places like
www.tiretrends.com and see a few tires for this size, but all seem too
suited to high-performance and not for winter/all season use.

Try the BFGoodrich Radial T/A P195/50R16 83S. In your location they should
be around $130.00 ea. give or take a few dollars. Good all-season tire.
