What are your road conditions?

Cold?
Snow?
Slush?
Warm?

I have Yoko Guardex 720's as they clear the slush that we get up north here, and stay flexible when it gets cold.

Lots of sipes for the ice - they are pretty perfect for these roads.

What are you planning to drive in?

I'm on Dunlop WinterSport M2s. They're better than RE-92s in the dry, and they're wonderful in the snow.
IggDawg is cool.

I picked up a set of 185-65-15 Gislaved Nord Frost II's.

I figured any winter tire made in Sweden had to be good...
