I got some Falken winter tires (Northeast Ohio), they worked great for me last year, but the snow we get here in Ohio is laughable by Minnesota standards.
Pros: worked great last year
I love my Falkens. Pretty quiet, no hydroplaning and cheap! Pretty decent grip in wet and dry. Terrible in snow. And They seem to be a very soft rubber that wears a little quick.
Pros: pretty quiet, no hydroplaning, decent grip
Cons: terrible in snow, wears quick
FALKEN ZIEX ZE-512, I had these on 18" wheels and they were a hard tire, lots of road noise and didn't provide a lot of grip. I didn't buy them again nor would I suggest them to someone. They were fine, but I am sure there are better tires out there. I went with FEDERAL SS-595 which were cheaper, quieter and grip way better in the dry. look at www.onlinetires.com
Pros: cheaper, quieter, better dry grip (Federal)
Cons: hard tire, lots of road noise, low grip (Falken)

brand new falken 912s: 2- 205/40, 2- 215/45..... for only 300 :thumbup:
Pros: only 300
Part number: 912S
I've had 512s on three of my cars. Great mileage out of them and they do great in wet and dry...
Pros: great mileage, great in wet/dry
Was running Avid W4s Yokohama’s on 14" Snowflakes and nothing bad to say till 20% tread, then a loose feeling... rain was good. I'm now running 195/50/15 Falken ZE912 high performance all season and also come in 14, with the stiff coils all around I have little to no push in corners and better off on the wider stance zero off-set rims. Now the main reason is they are a great wet tire and still trying to make the front push... my buddy ran them on his BMW and didn't like the oversteer feeling of the tire folding?!!? but I'm firm believer curb weight has heaps to do with it.... my 3 cents in rainy vancouver
Pros: great wet tire, no push in corners
Cons: loose feeling at low tread

Deff go with the falken ziex i have them on my 14" american racing rims there amazing they hug the road exspecially with all new suspension
Pros: amazing, hug the road
I think it is a great idea for the right situation. I take my 15' aluminum boat out 3-4 times a year and the lake is just 1 mile away, but there are always cops around the lake and they will pounce on you if your lights are not working, so it is a perfect solution for me.
Pros: perfect solution
