You have them if you have Goodyear, Firestone or BF Goodrich dealers. They may
not be pushed as "all season" in your area. but, they are the same tires.
Goodyear advertises one of their tires as handling and channeling large amounts
of water so that you don't hydroplane ... in the summer time rainy season. And
push the same tire in colder, snowier times as "all season".

I'm impressed. I was in Mississippi once and there was a minor (to an
Illinoisan) ice storm that had traffic at a stand still (literally) from the
Missippi river bridge on I-20 all the way back to Jackson. Fortunately I was
going south on I-55 to Nawlins and so long as I drove carefully (them big
trucks bend in the middle and are touchy about slick roads) and didn't make any
sudden moves I was OK.

      Title: Lamb, Plum & Smoked Mozzarella Pizza
 Categories: Pizza, Lamb/mutton, Cheese
      Yield: 4 servings
 
           Olive oil
    1/4 lb Ground lamb
           Kosher salt & black pepper
     12    Inch prepared thin pizza
           - crust *
      2    Black plums; sliced 1/4"
           - thick
           Very thin slices of red
           - onion
      4 oz Mildly smoked mozzarella;
           - grated
           +=OR=+
      4 oz Smoked provolone; grated
        lg Pinch of minced fresh thyme
           Extra virgin olive oil; to
           - finish
 
  Preheat oven to 450å. Place a medium-size nonstick skillet
  over medium heat; if the skillet is not nonstick, coat it
  lightly with oil. Add lamb and lightly brown, breaking it
  into small pieces but not cooking all the way through.
  Season generously with salt and pepper.
  
  Place pizza crust on a baking sheet. Spread lamb evenly
  over pizza crust, and then add plums, onion, cheese and
  thyme. Bake pizza for 10 minutes or until cheese has melted
  and ingredients warmed through.
  
  Remove from oven, drizzle with a fruity extra virgin olive
  oil and adjust seasoning. Slice and serve immediately.
  
  * Use a store-bought brand like thin-crust Boboli or
  your favorite pizza crust recipe. If you make your dough
  from scratch, you may need to parbake the crust; otherwise
  plan on a longer baking time after ingredients have been
  added.
  
  Serves 4
