That's looks to be another good site for tire research, as it looks similar in setup to www.tirerack.com.
I did notice their prices are quite a bit higher. I just purchased Winterforce tires for my Uplander this past Monday and paid $84 each, whereas the other site has them for $147.99 US. Tirerack lists Bridgestone Blizzak WS60 at $108 and the other site has them for $ 166.99 US. It pays to shop around taking into consideration shipping charges and such. I paid roughly $40 for shipping and they arrived just about 24 hours from the time I placed my order online. Just an FYI for anybody also looking for winter tires, Tirerack is running a promotion where you buy certain winter tires in a set of 4 and can get either a $25 or $50 American Express gift card ( almost like a rebate).More info can be found here I am getting a $25 card. The more expensive tires garner a $50 card and the ones eligible are listed in that link. Offer expires next week though so if one wants to take advantage, they need to hurry.
Also budget for rims for your tires. I got lucky a couple weeks back and found a set of 3 steel wheels from an '06 Saturn Relay for $65/ea.at a local yard. The guy gave them to me for $50/ea since I bought all 3. Now I need to locate one more and the cheapest I found was $65 at another yard a half hour away. Prices for these used vary greatly so it pays to shop around for them also. A couple other yards I called varied in price from $65 to over $100/ea.
