Its time to get new all-season tires for my 1994 Camry LE V6 in size 205/65R15. I have narrowed it down to the following:
Michelin Pilot XGT H4 - 205/65HR15 - $85 a tire
BF Goodrich Traction T/A H - 205/65R15 - $78 a tire
BF Goodrich Traction TA V - 205/65R15 - $99 a tire
The car in driven in the Long Island New York area so snow traction is a consideration.
Anyone have experience with these tires? Any recommendations would be gladly appreciated.

Have you looked at the Goodyear Triple Tread?
But, if you have settled on those 3, I would choose the Traction T/A H. It's rated to 130 and show give you a pretty good blend of comfort and performance.

. I would take them anyday over the Michelins. They're even great in the snow!Out of those three tires, go with the cheapest one... the BF Goodrich Traction T/A H.
Not only are they the least expensive, but you don't need the V-rated tires on your Camry. Plus the H-rated will give you better snow traction. I'm not a fan of the Michelins.
We have the Traction T/A T rated on our Avalon which is supposed to have H speed rated.... they are amazing tires. Better high speed stability than the Falkens we had or the OEM Michelins
If you're serious about snow traction, yet still want just one set of tires to use all year long, have a look at Nokian WR.
I just bought a set of V rated Traction T/A's size 225/60 X 15 for my Fox Mustang. I'm pretty happy so far. They're decent in the dry and amazing in the rain. I looked at and have previously owned a number of tires before I got the BFG's and I don't think you could find a better tire for the money.
The only downside you might find is the ride quality. They have a BFG feel to them, IOW, a stiff sidewall in the vertical direction so you can feel smaller road imperfections that other tires might ignore.
Tirerack has a test of these tires vs. some others and the BFG's came out the winner -

I'd go with the H-rated BFGs.
