Snow tire reccommendation?

Got some extra cash, was thinking of picking up the black GT rims here on MT, and throwing some high quality snow tires on the old stock rims for the wintertime.

Any reccommendations for some good snow tires that will fit the P245/45ZR17's? Something under 200 a tire?

Come on!!! I dont even want to think about snow now, we finally got rid of the last of it this past weekend :laughing8 But if I were to buy snows for the stang I would definetly get Bridgestone Blizzaks they have a 245-45-17 size. I have yet to find a better winter tire at any price.

I bought a whole set of 94 16" GT waffle style wheels on ebay for $60 and have some 215/60/16 (or something around there) cheapo tires on them. They worked great last winter.

The thinner width is much better in snow than a stock sized 245.
