Winter right around the corner..

What winter tire/wheel combo do you guys run?
Are Blizzaks still all the rage or is there another comparable tire out now?

I'm guessing 17's would be good for winter on the car.

Hankook Icebear FTW!
I used it throughout last winter and loved it.
My car never got stuck, even uphills...

I have Blizzaks on my 162's for winter, and CSL with the stock RFTs for summer.

Will be heading back to Chicago in Novemebr, and will probably be doing the swap once I get there.

Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D, non-runflat. Mounted on 17" ASA JH3 wheels. This setup got me through every storm last winter without any problems at all.
