Tire recommendations 2009

I'm torn between 3 different All-Season tires to get for my 2009 Fit Sport as the winter slowly approaches in New England. I had been getting Dunlops (currently on my 3rd set at 125,000 miles) because they had been the only tire I could find that'll fit my car but now that there are options I'm not sure which is the better option. All opinions welcome! Here are my choices:

Bridgestone Turanza EL470
Yokohama Avid Ascend
Michelin Premier A/S

Thank You!

I've had good luck and have really enjoyed my Continental Extreme Contact DWS in 205/50/16 which still fit the stockers.

Yokohama now makes some in the OEM size. I have Avid Ascends. Just got them in April-- so have not gone through a winter yet. So far the ride is much quieter. there is a thread here on how they handle in snow- so that is why I got those.

Yokohama Avids have been my go to choice for passenger cars, BMW to the Fit. Performance and quality for the price is hard to beat. Never tried them in snow since I take the 4x4 out when the white stuff is on the ground. Yoko claims the Ascend is one of their best for winter.

Is 205/50R16 the size you are looking for?

I also got these tires on my Fit last year. Replaced the O.E. Dunlops that came with the car. The grip in the rain was a tremendous improvement, I no longer hydroplane on the highways. I can take also highway ramps with more speed before starting to understeer,
