A little O/T but I need some help

Hey guys I am away at school and I left my 02 I35 with my rents for the winter so they would have a decent snow car. Anyway in the next couple days supposedly a bad snow storm is coming their way and the only other car they have access to is a G35 coupe and their not takin that baby snow drifting. They called me in a panick today askin me what snow tires to get. They are lookin to buy tomorrow or the next day. They are in the boston area and my dad is going to bring the car up to NH to go skiing so thats why it would really be great if you guys could help me out and provide any recommendations.
The reason I'm not posting this is the tire section is because no one is ever in there and I know it would take longer to get responses.

Thanks for the help guys

Hrmm, your in the snow season and especially in the Northeast get what you can... I think your gonna have trouble getting something specific, but I like Michelin's for Snow tyres, they are great... Good luck with finding those tyres...

so far the Blizzaks look like a pretty hardcore snow tire, I guess no more highspeed runs though even if the roads clear up as these tires have a top speed around 100mph

I am pushing em to go for the blizzaks but they are pretty expensive for snow tires, about 150$ per tire. My dad is trying to find them though and based on all the great reviews they have gotten I think he would be smart to invest the money.

Thanks guys

My pilots are a great all season tire. We usually take my car skiing, so I've been through some real crap with them. If they want to go with a strickly snow set, get the Blizzaks. Even better than Pilots in the snow.
