Anyway, Uniroyal tires aren't that good, even for their price range. Even Walmart's Douglas tires (made by Goodyear) are better than Uniroyal. Cooper, Hankook,and Falken also make good tires in that price category.
But if you need winter uability from your all-season tires, consider a 3-peak all-season "all weather" tire like the Nokian WRG4, Vredestein Quatrac 5, Goodyear Weatherready, or the Toyo Celsius

Even though Uniroyal is owned by Michelin, that doesn't make them good tires. And they were even worse before Michelin bought them out.
Uniroyal (and BFG) aren't made the same as Michelin tires are, since Michelin makes their tires different than everybody else does. So you won't see Tiger Paws made in the same factory as Defenders, for example.
What do you mean when you say "Michelin makes their tires different than everybody else does"?
Got a link with more information on that?
