I currently rock a 2000 honda prelude. Im looking for a great ALL season tire. I do not want to swap between a winter tire and a summer tire. Lets be honest. Tires are pretty dang expensive to begin with. Let alone buying two complete sets. I live in Wisconsin. That means...Rain...SNOW....SNOW...and ice. Snow varies from light to deep. Typically more deep. Traction is huge. Wear is big. Price is moderate. I dont wanna drop more than...700-800 for a set. I want a smooth ride. Not alot of noise. NO vibrations. Preferably with a warranty. Rim size currently is stock 16". Any suggestions/recommendations are greatly appreciated! :)

Ive been on tirerack.com they recommended a yokohama avid envigor h&v's. As well as michelin pilot exalto a/s. Ive researched it alot. Some sites are huge fans of both tires. Saying their the bee's knees. Others the complete opposite. So i was hoping more for a solid user opinion. :) but thank you very much for the suggestion.

I know many people who are very happy with Bridgestone Blizzaks http://www.tirerack.com/winter/tech/techpage.jsp?techid=116.
Honestly, if your snow traction is THAT important, specifically deep snow, then a dedicated set of snow tires, as much as you don't want to, will be worth their weight in gold. With a budget like $700-800, you could easily get a set of decent summer tires and a dedicated set of winter tires. It's not like your tires are that big that they should be $200 a piece. I've had a couple different tires that did well in snow, including my big fat BFGs on my mustang, unfortunately they are worn to the point that the tire is useless in snow now, and they replaced the old design. The new BFG SuperSport A/S should be a good deal for a performance all season, though there's much cheaper options for your car.
If you go to a good tire store and tell them what you want, they should be able to fix you up - they know tires best. The only thing I can tell you is that I hate michelin. They have a very harsh ride and are terrible in snow. Get something soft and squishy and it will give a smooth ride and good traction in snow.
you ought to get finished on iciness tires (Vredersteins?) in a narrower - taller tire say a 195/60 R17 or such that's the approximate diameter as your 225/45r17s. 225/45s do no longer make sturdy iciness tires - by way of fact of this they are not on your length. Get finished on summer season GT tires on your unique wheels for optimum cornering in summer season. Get some low value iciness wheels and positioned the narrower - taller component tires on for iciness. Narrower tires bypass by way of snow extra appropriate. They dont ought to push as a good number of it.
