I was amazed at how well the Arizonian Silver Editions did last winter here in MI, even with all of the freezing rain, and heavy snow. They're technically all-seasons and I had them siped for a bit more grip in the snow. I used them on my Acura, so the car was a similar size with a similar suspension set-up, FWIW. They were mounted on 14" steel rims, however. We had snow tires on my girlfriend's Grand Am, and they didn't really make that much of a difference while on ice. I honestly don't think it's going to matter much what tires you use on ice, unless they're studded. They were great in the snow, though. I believe they were Cooper WeatherMasters that we got from Discount Tire. I have heard great things about Blizzaks as well, but I couldn't find any at the tire shops around here for the size of her rims. Oh, and I also find that if you get the tires more narrow, they tend to cut through the snow a bit easier. It did in my Acura, at least. Both times I had more narrow tires, they cut through the snow nicely. When I went to wider tires, I could barely make it to work in the lightest amount of snow.
