What do you want out of these tires?
All snow/ice or snow/ice and some dry...
The Bridgestone Blizzak and Toyo Observe are good, but the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R is the best for snow/ice traction. But expect tread squirm on dry road. Nokian is the largest tire manufacturer in the Nordic countries. They know snow!!!
If your in need of a little more dry road stability, look into an all weather tire that has good grip on wet, snowy and dry roads.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
pricey
Blizzak LM22
but they last and can be a life saver at speed.
tirerack has them
keep 225/45/17 on all four for the winter.225's do much better in the snow,than a staggered set up.

So now I have four Nokian W2g2 winter tires and I find them superior to the Blizzaks. During our just finished two weeks of snow I was able go wherever I wanted, staying away from the steeper grades, of course. And on just wet or dry pavement they feel like normal summer tires.
I'm using 225/45-17s all around and bought them online from someplace perhaps in Illinois or someplace back there.

Just curious, what are you going to do with the existing stock tires? Only my wife hit a pothole last week and ripped apart one of the tires and I dont want to pay $120 for a new one.

I opted for the LM-25 and did the same size all around, 225/45 R17 so I can rotate them each winter. Night and day difference between them and the stock all seasons (Michelin) that came with the car. Still feels good/stable to drive hard on dry/wet pavement.
