Best winter tires

sobewebmaster

I've just been using all-seasons for all my vehicles. I'm looking for a change as far as better grip. Since moving closer to Nashville, TN I'm experiencing a bit more ice on the roads than I am used to closer to Memphis. And next winter I'd like to be prepared with better tires for when I come back here on leave from wherever I will be stationed.

The top ones I came across were:
Michelin X-Ice Xi2
Nokian Hakkapeliitta RSi
Blizzak WS60
Blizzak LM-60

I'm kind of stuck between which would be best. I'd be putting at first on a 04' GrandPrix GT, 04' Mustang GT, and '08 Dodge Ram 2x4. Will go onto a 370z when I get out of training.

From reading around the Nokian seems to be top pick along with the Michelin X-Ice Xi2 over the Blizzaks. Nokian getting more or less the best reviews. I'd like some more input because quite frankly, I'm not a huge motor head, so please forgive any "noob" questions I may pose.
