WEATHERGUARD AS710 - Milestar Tires
Looks like a Nokian Entyre 2.0... surprised Nokian is licensing a tire that is still in production.

We have Nankang SP-9 Cross Sports on two vehicles right now. Fantastic tire for the price. Excellent tire irrespective of price. Nankang is a Taiwanese company started in 1959. Our tires were made in Taiwan. My daughters Escape uses 235/50/18 tires. Walmart has them for $79.18 each w/50,000 mile Nankang warranty. (We bought one set from Americas Tire about half a year ago for low $80's)Technically Milestars are made by Nankang Rubber Corporation and distributed by Tireco in the US.
From their web page, looks like another all-season, not an all weather or winter tire, as slacktide pointed out.
I have no experience with Milestars. I was wondering if they were related to the tires that originally came on my Corolla, Telstar Weatherizers (a truly awful tire...) but that is a Treadways brand, not Tireco. Funny how they both have "Star" and "Weather" in their brand and product name.
The Patagonia tires are very popular on the off-road Jeep forums.I purchase Milestar Patagonias ATR for my truck like you and I really like them. Therefore, I am leaning toward Milestars for my little car.
My truck is a very torque 8.1L big block. Old tires would break traction pretty easily. New Milestar keep traction very well, even when I'm playing and want to spin on pavement.
