Winter Tires?

What are decent winter tires for the evo? im looking at these so far but any other suggestions are appreciated, Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50, Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22, and Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2. My friend has the Michelin's on his STI and it handles amazing in the snow so i might go with those, but im curious to see what you guys have to say. Thanks.

I believe this has been discussed many times in previous threads. I did a quick search and found this for you:

I've got LM-22s and have been unimpressed with them. They're ok, but not exceptional.

Have always used Blizzaks on my cars. Their compound make them some of the best tires out there. The majority of brands rely on tread design and depth, but the Blizzaks have the added compound to really excel them thru winter conditions. Always top in our testing also. Use the LM-22/25 for more urban, lighter snow conditions. Use the WS-50 for harsher more rural applications.

I live in MN and it snows alot = lots of ice and i have the hankook w300 thay work realy nice
and thay are kinda stiff so thay still handle good when there is no snow on the road.
I like the blizzack but on a warm day or when there is no snow thay get soft and squirmy.
I like the hankook and it is cheep.
