I would give one of our site sponsors a call discount tire or check out link below that I have found helpful and it sure would be helpful if you filled in you profile as we have members all over the world. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/dg/MenuServlet?search=tdg
I had Mastercraft Touring LSR tires on mine previously and they did great in everything including snow and ice. I paid $550 out the door for 4 tires at a local shop, they lasted about 35,000 miles which isn't too bad for a 4500 pound minivan that did mostly city driving.
I am replacing them with General Altimax RT43 tires because I got a great deal on them from discounttiredirect.com, $375 shipped. Time will tell if they are any good...
All season are neither good for cold nor for heat. Esp. winter tyres go quickly bust when hot, unless there is a new tech product I am not aware. If the winters are mild and sommers never hot, then, yes.
I never fell for the all season thing with tires.
I run Cooper Discoverer's from April to November and Goodyear Ultra Grip winter tires all the way around from December thru March.
A little late to the discussion here. But I've noticed that minivans (not just the Sedona) overwhelm a lot of (especially cheaper) car-based tires, simply because of the sheer weight of the vans. They may even be rated with the proper weight number, and still you will be lucky to get half the rated miles out of them. So usually I will recommend that one find some smooth-riding all-season (NOT all-terrain) truck tires. Often, they will be your best choice.
Fortunately, the base size for your Sedona (225-70R16) is a pedigree truck-tire size, so you have some good choices. Two good recommendations I have (from experience) are the Firestone Destination LE2 and the relatively new Cooper Discoverer SRX. Both can be had for competitive prices, and will give you everything you would hope for in a set of tires, including mileage even beyond the rating.
There are winter/ all year round tyres made from a relatively new compound that last longer than old rubber and sheds ice and snow better but still has dry road grip. In some areas tyre manufacturers and sellers have to give international standards for surface grips, noise and braking.
EU ratings explained here not all suppliers make information obviously available. http://www.blackcircles.com/general/tyre-labelling/tyre-label
