Just got some Hankook Ipike W409 205 50 17 i did not stud it, because don't want any noise. Test it yesterday on 10 inches of fresh snow. All i can say is wow  ) It grips like you on pavement, and i was able to do 90 degrees turn going 40 on snow. 
Price paid 620 $ including balancing and mounting.

was it 2 weeks ago. Chicago, 65F (WTF?), my 7 year old Nokians (3rd owner/ 50% thread left, WTF#2 and wet road = some interesting, almost no traction behavior. Quite similar to crappy all seasons on snow actually but much less predictable
