snow tires

[mvanamburgh@charter.net (Mike VanAmburgh)]

If you go with snow tires, you really should put them on all four 
corners.  If you do just the fronts, the ass end will be all over the 
place.  Tire Rack sells snow tires and steel wheel packages.  Looks like 
it would cost just $404 for 185/60/14 Blizzaks with the steel wheels.

I had a set of cheap Winter King (Michelin?) tires on a Jetta GLX and 
they were great in the snow, but not so great for dry weather 
performance.  My point is that it's not really necessary to buy the 
expensive snow tires such as Nokian, Blizzak, etc.  The cheapest snow 
tire is still much better in the snow than an all season tire would be 
as long as you're willing to sacrifice a little dry performance.

I need snow tire reccommendations. I was thinking 2 new all season tires on the back (I have one, its just a goodyear basic street/touring tire, was going to get a second of the same time) and two blizzacks up front. Anyone have a better plan? I know there are a few listers out in that area, maybe you guys have reccommendations.
