As you were already told, don't mix the tires.  I've heard great things 
about Blizzaks, but have no personal experience with them.  If cost is an 
issue 4 no name studded snows will also work wonders.  I run studded snows 
on my truck during the winter, and combined with the four wheel drive, it 
will go through anything the Maine winter throws at it.  I've run studded 
snows on a Scirocco too and it's amazing how much better it 
handled(previously like crap.)
