Go to tirerack.com and use their online comparison feature to find tires that are the correct size and within your budget.

Blizzack LM50 has been the BEST winter tire I have ever used, however ANY of the dedicated snow tires will kick ass over ANY all season or performance tire for snow/ice.

Dunlop winter sports are much more fun than Blizzacks....With four of them you will pass SUVs on all season tires.

Running Dunlop Winter Sports on the 944. Will let ya know how they do. I will say that Hankook makes awesome winter and studded tires. Had them on my failwheel drive zx2 and had a blast and a half.

There is actually someone I know who has winter snow tires for sale. They only used them one season and are getting rid of them because their transmission messed on them, so they won't be drivign it anymore. TIres will fit perfect and everything, so I think I'll go for these. Don't know what brand they are yet though.
