I just purchased a set of Sumitomo HTR sport @ tirerack 255/55/18 and had it installed at Costco for $40 this past Friday. Tires, mounting and balance cost was about $500.
It handled very well in the light snow/ice we just had and I'm very happy with the dry road performance.
Something to consider...

The higher-end air compressors have an air dryer BEFORE they compress the air - therefore far less moisture content inside the tank to begin with, then they will have an automatic drain which opens up every 15 minutes or so for a second to blast out the water collected at the bottom of the tank.
I'm looking for tires too - was looking at Geolandar G052, Kumho STX and Falken Ziex STZ-04. I want good all around performance with good tire wear. I too would love a second set of tires/wheels so that I could put Pirelli Scorpion Snow and Ice on my 18s (excellent winter tire in my experience) but the current budget doesn't allow that.
From the reviews, the Yoko Geolandars seem like the way to go.
