does anyone have any suggestions of which are the best snow tires?

Blizzack's! www.tirerack.com

cooper makes the best winter tire i lived in vermont my whole life and thats the only tires my dad sold. (he owns a shop in case you were wondering why my dad was selling tires.)

Hakkapelitas. If you can find someone who sells these tires these are great. Mine are on the way and they are cheaper than Blizzacks and last twice as long and better bite.

The company is Nokian in Finland and they do their testing on a ice and snow covered track :)

how much would a set of those Hakkapelitas (and shipping) go for?

I know my sponsor can get them. I'll ask him for the website. They are about $90 per tire.
