i was going to get some for my truck but 900 bucks for a set. my dudictable is 200 bucks so if i hit the ditch or snow banks its cheaper to pay for the dudictable then the tires.

cooper discover mud and snow or hercules polar trax---2 best i've ever had
nokia's are also excellent
nokia's are also excellentblizzaks
Good logic as long as you hit the ditch, not some lady with a baby carriage
I run studded Nokians and they have been unbelievable - but that is on the work truck and I can get them in a ten ply.

a set for my truck costs more then my tuition for next term.
We run carbide studded Coopers, they aren't the cheapest, but they will go anywhere!
for the money and snow and ice traction; yokohama ats 10 ply
I have used many different types of winter tires:
Canadian Tire (goodyear knockoffs I think) with studs that were okay
Yokohama (A633's) I think, which were excellent (no longer made)
Michelin Arctic Alpin better for ice than snow
Bridgestone Blizzaks (WS-50's) are undoubtedly the BEST winter tire I have put on a vehicle to date. Awesome traction, grip, road holding on crappy roads. Downside to them is they become all season tires at about 50% tread. I have used mine for 3 seasons with most of the tread left. You will not be disappointed with Blizzaks!
Haven't used Nokians yet but have a friend who uses them and what I've noticed is that they are good but I'll bet my Blizzaks stick better!

Mine melted when spring came.
Another vote for the Blizzaks
i use the cooper mud and snows, no complaints....
My dad's a mechanic at a tire shop. We put Winterforce tires on both his ranger and my blazer over the winter. They're fairly cheap and they have a long wear life. I've got almost 40,000 miles on mine in the last year, so I'll be getting another set in a week or so. My dad's are studded and it looks like he'll be able to get another few seasons out of them. They turn my blazer into a tank in the snow, so if you're looking for a good buy, these are the way to go.

Here are the results from Consumer Reports testing (this is just the highlight):
Best for severe winter performance:
Michelin X-Ice
Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice
Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50
Mastercraft Glacier Grip II
The Michelin X-Ice is the top choice for harsh winters. The Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice and Mastercraft Glacier Grip II also provide excellent snow traction, though not as good braking on ice. The Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50 is also very capable on both snow and ice.
