If you can find them I was very satisfied with Nokian Hakkapeliittas.
The Finns know a thing or two about snow. I'm currently running studded
Kumhos and they get the job done too. They're noisy but that's what you
get with an aggressive tread and studs.

In many areas, alas, studded tires (well, "real" studs) are
a heavy duty no no and can lead to huge fines and other problems.
