So I will be getting some 18x8.5 CSL's pretty soon and need tires for them.
Looking for a good all weather tire that can handle a light snow for under $200 per tire.
What brand/type/size should I be looking at? No clue about tires. I just need something that grips well, handles water and a little snow, quiet, good ride, and lasts awhile.

Continental DWS 255/35/18 seems to be the one I would recommend for this. It's not exactly under 200 per tire but it does fit the role quite nicely.

Your other option is Pirelli Neros too. This is what I put on my mom's car for daily.

Those were precisely what I was looking at LOL.

I'm still swearing by the Kumho Ecsta 4X.

Edited, didn't have the kuhmos.
The DWS is the tried and true tested a/s tire though, I'd start there.

The ASX was the old, poorly rated all weather.
The 4X had only been out a year and had great reviews/ratings. It replaced the ASX.

Oooooooo no I am mistaken. It was the toyo proxes 4 not the kuhmos, my bad.
I remember looking at both those tires and apparently choosing the wrong one.

You're looking for a tire that doesn't exist.
All seasons are no seasons. I'll keep on saying it again and again.

Ugh....
I would go with one of the following three tires (All of prices below are for 235-40-18):
1) The Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS Pole Position (I have these) >>> $189/tire
2) Continental ExtremeContact DWS >>> $176/tire
3) Kumho Ecsta 4X (KG has a great review on these) >>> $147/tire
