The best and most expensive snow tires are the Nokian Hakkepelita, Hakka 5 in those sizes.

Studded only if you are driving on rural, snow packed roads most of the time.

Next best are Blizzaks and Toyo Observe/Garit. The Toyo's are great if you have real low temperatures : they stay real soft, but take them off early in spring to avoid premature wear.

Winterforce by Firestone is a good budget choice.

All four wheels MUST have snow tires. Tire Rack has a good downsize chart because they realize a narrower tire, with the same height, will do a better job in the snow.

Just speaking from experience here in the great white north,
