Buy the best you can afford. Michelin X-Ice Xi2 get top honors right now from the experts that test the performance of these kinds of tires, but the Toyo Observe is also excellent with ground up walnut shells imbedded in the tread to give you grip. Michelin uses silicone in the tread for grip on ice. And as long as you remove them in spring and put you're all-seasons back on you should get about four winters out of a set. I'm going to give the Michelin's a try as there not a whole lot more than any other brand buying them a Costco. The Michelin also says the tire remains fuel effecient when driving on dry roads compared to other winter tires.
