Winter Tires

Anybody have any recommendations for winter tires for an xc90 with the 18" wheel option? I am worried my OEM Michelin HXMXM4 Pilots won't cut it as soon as it snows around here. It seems there are only 3 winter tires available for 235/60R18:

1) Dunlop Grandtrek WT M2
2) Dunlop SP Winter Sport M2
3) Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow

I have used www.1010tires.com as a research point, and it is pretty good. However, I was hoping to hear back from some xc90 drivers.

Sorry, not an XC90 driver, but have you tried tirerack.com? They usually have good info and decision forking web logic to help you figure out tire sizes:

Thanks, Matt.

I just discovered Tirerack.com a couple of days ago, after my post. Fantastic prices and great bizrate rating. I'll probably purchase some Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snows.

What do you put on your 850?

Still curious to hear what others think.
