Tires- Which type?

The other day I was going home and got a flat. It was slow leaker and I didn't notice until I heard the rim hitting the pavement. Put a crack right thru the sidewall of the tire. I have a full size spare and rim, from when I bought the car so I put that on. However, the tread is worn down on the outside. So I got to get new tires.

I know everyone likes the Yokohama AVS dB but how good are they in the snow? Tire rack rates them 4.8 in the snow and 9 for noise. The Bridgestone Potenza RE950 has a better snow rating of 7.3 but is it too noisy at 8.2?

Thanks for your help in advance.

i use the Bridgestone Potenza RE750

but i imagine that they are horrible in the snow. great in the wet stuff and in the dry. also heard they can be a bit noisy. with my exhaust and constantly loud stereo, i could give a damn.
