S60R: winter tires ???

Last winter in Chicago, it was mild, I didn't put on many miles, and I did not feel a need for winter tires.

I went to Traverse City, MI for Thanksgiving, and the sleet has opened my eyes to the need for winter tires.

I have the money to do this; but, I really do not want to invest in rims, too. After all, this is a lease car ;>

I am no tire nor brand expert. I am satisfied with the original tires the rest of the year. I want really good performance in adverse conditions. I want the best money can by -- within reason. Does this make sense?

What do you folks recommend?

What _bad_ experieces have you had with which tires?

What _good_ experiences have you had with which tires?

What do you think?

Best Regards,

helices

Re: S60R: winter tires ???

I run Bridgestone Blizaks on mine, really good tire, and you get some miles out of them. Bridgestone Potenzas 760's during the summer also really good, though not so cheap but not as expensive as Pirelli's. Steel rims are not out there so it is either the mags you have or a spare set of the same, not cheap.
