Both my MKC and Mustang GT CS are shod with Michelin X-Ice....not a single complaint to mention, insanely grippy tire in nasty conditions....When I first got the MKC I was surprised at how bad the traction was with the OEM All Season tires...and that's biting on 4 wheel drive.....bought the X Ice and never looked back...
As Todd mentioned, you DID list the top 3 tires out there,I have friends that have the Nokian Hakkapelitta R2's and say very positive reviews on them......The Blizzak is a great tire as well, all feedback I got on them is that the threads die out quite early, loosing grip over snow/ice.
