Help me choose a snow tire

So...I've searched here and didn't find much in the way of recommendations. I just picked up some 18" wheels on ebay for my 05. I was going to go with Blizz aks but thought I'd ask here for recommendations.

I really like my Pirelli Scorpions. 255/55/18's. They have been excellent in snow, ice, and dry pavement. Wet and dry performance, comfort, and noise level exceeded my expectations.

The Blizzaks are very popular here too.

The Blizzaks are awesome - I went with 17" wheeels (also off ebay).

Awesome performance in snow and ice...sacrifice the style and go for winter confidence.

I second this Scorpions have been good to me. I used them on my 06 Cayenne and now on my e70

I would go Nokian! Have a look at what they have to offer you and see where you're best fit would be.
