Bridgestone Blizzaks, seem to be the winter tire of choice.

If you can get Nokian tires, their Hakkapelliita NRW is a fantastic tire. When I lived in VT, Nokian was *the* tire of choice.

BTW, to save the wheels you could mount the tires on regular steel wheels. Subaru used to sell a steel wheel that fit the SVX for this purpose. I have a set, but I've never actually used them.

Where in MN? Sept. 22 we are having an SVX meet in Duluth, look here for details:

http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...&threadid=1230


Anyhow, for tires, I've got the Toyo Observe Studless and they are sweeeet. My SVX goes through snow better than the F*rd F150 4x4 I had before I got the SVX. And they are pretty quiet when there isn't any snow either. Big thumbs up for them! I bought a second set of SVX stock Aluminum rims to put them on too.

Here's a picture of the tread:

Minnesota snow tyres

The Lake Wobegon Driving Club recommends Lutheran snow tires. They track on the straight and narrow and grip the snow like a Norwegian bachelor farmer grips his wallet....

....seriously, my Swift has used Blizzaks with great success. Jean's Impreza used Blizzaks until last winter when I found a deal on Yokohama Guardex's which seem to do equally well. I use Dunlop Graspics on the SVX, but I don't have to face Minnesota winters either.

All those listed in the other posts above have received high marks from the membership.
