Before your set on ANY tires check out the Bridgestone RE970AS I've had mine on for a few weeks now and I couldn't be happier with a tire purchase. $992 out the door and they gave me a free Wii this things won't break loose on wet pavement... and if they are saying the new 970s are better then the previous version 960s I expect even better snow performance.
A few winters ago in my old 04 gtp I had the 960s on the front. I drove through the worst blizzard of the season here in Michigan ...I'm talking several feet of snow on undriven roads and it plowed through like it was nothing.
Here are my 245/45 18s
