Depends on what kind of driver you are. I like the Arctic Alpins over the Nordic Ice-Trac and the Blizzaks. They give you the maximum traction possible for ice and snow, but then you lose dry cornering grip and top speed capability. If you like to drive over 100mph, you can step up to Pilot Alpins or another of the higher speed rating ice+snows. You have to ask yourself the question: Can I live with not going over 100mph for the next 5 months? If you can, my advice is go with the Arctic Alpins. They'll last you at least 4 or 5 winters if you take care of them. They did on my SHO.

I'm trying to save gas these days, so I set cruise at 140km on the way to work. It's not easy, you know!
My right foot is just itching to mash it!
So here's a quetion - do the Pilot Alpins give up any foul weather traction capability over the Arctic Alpins to get the higher speed rating? I think they'd have to. The chart on the Michelin site seems to reflect this as well. Decisions, decisions...
