For Amanda, I'm thinking either WinterSport 3D's (she loved my car on them) or Continental ExtremeWinterContact. The Conti's are $80 less expensive for a set in her size and TireRack had this to say about them:
Quote:
* What We Liked: Excellent road handling
* What We'd Improve: A small improvement in glare ice traction
* Conclusion: An excellent winter / snow tire that drives like your car isn't wearing winter boots
* Latest Test Rank: 2nd
* Previous Test Rank: 1st (January '09)

Their treadwear is a tad worse than the Wintersport's according to the CR tests though.
I'm thinking I want something more aggressive for my Winter setup to help us get over the pass in the Winter, etc. I'm leaning toward:
Quote:
Bridgestone Blizzak WS60 (Studless Ice and Snow)
* What We Liked: Excellent ice traction
* What We'd Improve: A small improvement in clear road handling
* Conclusion: When it comes to glare ice traction, this Blizzak is the best
* Latest Test Rank: 1st
* Previous Test Rank: 2nd (January '09), 1st (October '07)

I'd have to get them in 205/60/16 since that's the closest to my stock size that they offer, but they're only $332 (minus $50 American Express Gift Card) for a set!
Thoughts?
