I bought the Cooper STT's for winter and summer. 33x12.5R20's. Kind of similar to curling sliders on ice in 2wd but if there is any snow at all they hook up pretty good.

Bought duratracs. Love them after a few thousand kilometres. Awesome traction and acceleration in 4wd even in inches of snow.

I am between the Hankook iPike RW11 and the Blizzak DM-V2. We have the Michelin X-Ice Xi2 on my wife's van and they are great on hard pack ice and snow, bit they have narrow groves between the tread blocks and they spin a bit on slush and deeper snow. I feel this is related to the smaller groves, it gives more surface area for sipe contact but less room for snow/slush evacuation. The Hankook have a little larger groves but still quite a bit of siping, plus the price is right, $150-$200 less than the Blizzak. I know the Blizzak use a dual compound rubber and when the Blizzak is half worn the winter compound is used up and only a more all-season compound remains. Not sure if the Hankook is the same, but last I knew only the Blizzak did this.
