For those of you which have installed snow tire what size did you use and what brand/model would you recommend.

Thanks
I had the same problem last year, you have to order them early before they run out because they won't get more in till the following August/September. I got the same size as on my HH (225-65 R17). I recommend the Michelin Ice or Blizzak's from Tirerack (www.tirerack.com). If you have a local tire shop they may still have some in stock, but at this late point I believe you will be like me last year where I had to wait till the end of summer to order them. What I did was to start checking the web site in June every few weeks and as soon as they showed them I ordered them.
