Best tires for northeast

Best tires for northeast
I have looked at general threads on this, but tires depend on road conditions as you all know. So I will ask a specific question. I live in North East. I want to buy tires for my 2007 Acura TL, and I don't want to buy winter tires in the winter, so it has to be all season with a decent winter grip (roads are paved quick in the city I live, so it doesn't have to perform like a snow tire, just a better than average winter traction is OK). Other than that, I prioritize quietness and comfort. Since these models are not as good as the new cars with noise isolation, a tire that helps with noise reduction would help, I thought. And since I am not looking to push the performance limits, ride comfort is more important than the most agile handling for me (although good handling wouldn't hurt). Considering these, is there a specific brand that you would recommend? I'd like to stay under $200 per tire.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I believe they're called All Weather tires. Basically all seasons but they have the snowflake winter rating as well.

Shopping tires for my mom, I bought a set of continentals that were well rated.
low and behold it has the snow flake icon on the tire! I was surprised!
Living in Texas, def. Not needed...But then In Feb. we were hit with a "winter storm" with ice and slush and a little bit of snow.
I was like "good thing we got you the snowflake tires!"

Yeah, grab a set of the all weather category tyres.
I think Michelin has the best blend of wear, grip, noise, and ride. They seem to be the most well rounded (ha! tyre puns!).
Costco usually has $160 off on Michelin on a ~bi-monthly basis.
If you want something less expensive, there's Hankook, Conti, and other options that will probably have tradeoff's/benefits in specific categories.

Ha! "all weather" yes, I had one of those installed on my wife's Subaru last year. The Nokian WRG4. Very happy with those on the Outback. I wonder if that would be good for the TL too??
The speed rating is V, not W, but I don't know if that really matters, since I won't be speeding more than 80 mph anyways

Speed ratings do change how the tyre is constructed. So...apples to apples, a V wont feel quite like a W.
Maybe it still doesn't matter. But, yeah, there may be a notable change in how the car behaves.

So you know if V and W would make a difference other than the top speeds they would be ideal for? I mean I will drive under 80mph, but I’d like to know the differences these two types of tires would have in terms of longevity, comfort, noise, handling etc. Where do you think we can find that info?

Go jump onto tirerack.com, enter your TL info, and then look at the Grand Touring A/S and the High Performance A/S options. That is a great place to start. There are lots of tire threads in here that have lots of good recommendations. I had Pirelli P-Zero A/S on my TL and they were just "ok" in the snow, but they met my other three season requirements well related to quiet, comfort, while still having some performance. I had dedicated winter tires to deal with the snowy months. As others have stated, there is a newer generations of tires out there that should do better in the winter.
