Anyone Running Snow Tire?

Its snowing here and my tires suck in the snow. I really need a set of snow tires. Any suggestions?

I personally never had any, but my co-worker drives a Honda S2000. He just got Blizzarks from Tirerack and swears by them. Acctually, it's snowing pretty hard in Chicago right now, he just came back from lunch and was telling everyone how good his tires are.

No to rant, but it would make sense to do a search on "snow tires". It will probably pull up at least a dozen discussions in the past month alone. Otherwise, most of us get tired answering the same question more then 10 times.

I'm running Dunlop Wintersport on 16 inch rims. There's a lot more tires out there in 16 than 17. I went with a little narrower tire - 215 as opposed to the stock 225. Snow tires make a huge difference driving in the snow/slush. I'll be out in the driveway - in the snow - putting them on tomorrow.

Do a search in the Canadian forum under snow tires.

The comment concensus in the Canadian forum is that the Nokian NRW Hakkapeletta's are the best winter tires you can get. I have them and they are really good.
