My vote is for one you don't have listed: Nokian NRW or WR tires. I replaced my NordFrost IIs with the NRWs two years ago (and now have a set of WRs). The snow/slush traction is equal or better, the dry handling is _much_ better and the wear is amazing (55K miles on the NRWs vs. 35K on the Nordfrosts) Bill '91 900SPG
