Have some questions about selecting all season tires

[lebewohl]

I'm in the market for all season tires that can handle snow pretty well. Poking around here, it seems that the Continental Extreme Contact is the consensus favorite here. I did some price comparison. One shop is trying to steer me toward a Contintental Contipro Contact 95T. What are your thoughts?

I'm basically looking for a set of tires that handles much better in the snow. I'm not interested in having two sets of tires. I drive 2009 Altima S sedan. If you have other suggestions, I'm all ears.

Extreme contacts are some of the best money can guy. The shop is probably trying to get you onto the Contipro's because they get a bigger kickback or sellers rebate on them. Get what you originally wanted, they won't disappoint.

Well, stupid me. They don't have the tire in my size anyways (215/60/16). I checked the Continental website and they don't have the Extreme Contact DWS in my size either. What would be the best tires for me for my size?

Ok. Did some more research. Should I get Michelin Defender XT in my current size (215/60/16) or get the Continental Extreme Contact in 225/55/16? I really don't have a clue on this kind of stuff so your help would be great!
