So cold in the D
Get on TireRack and see what they have. That's the best way.
Do you want 'tall' or 'wide' or both? FWIW, if you're looking for best traction, and expect snow, skinnier = better.

Your current set up is about 32" tall. Find snow tires about that size and you'll be okay.
like I said. TireRack.
This helps, too.

265/70R18 would probably be a good fit too.
Bridgestone makes one. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....=yes&tab=Specs
There's lots of choices out there in other sizes. Start here: http://www.tirerack.com/winter/wintertires.jsp
You might expand your choices a bit more by looking at AT tires with the Mountain/Snowflake symbol. Tires have to earn that symbol, and the ones that do work pretty well in the white stuff. More info: http://www.tirerack.com/winter/tech/...jsp?techid=125
I can think of 3 off the top of my head... The BFGoodrich AT TAKO, The GoodYear Wrangler DuraTrac, and the GoodYear Wrangler Silent Armor. I'm sure there are a few more.

With respect to John, no tire can compete with a dedicated winter tire - even the snowflake tires. My duratracs have the snowflake and do a reasonable job. My ex's Articmax on her F150 do a SUPER job.
Siping is important for snow traction - I had my old Trail Grapplers siped and did okay, but again, the compound of the rubber matters too when driving through cold weather.
If I could afford only one set of tires - I'd get the tires I have. If I could swing another set? Dedicated winter performance or studless ice/snow tires for sure.
