Question what is a good brand of winter tires? Tirerack is showing a set of Pirelli 245/265 Winter Sottozero Serie II like a previous poster stated.

Any other winter brands? I don't care about the TPMS and don't want to swap tires off the stock black 19's due to fear of damage during mounting and balancing at various shops in the area.
I've had a lot of success with Bridgestone Blizzaks and Continental DWS. Both are very good winter setups and usually cheaper than Pirelli and Michelin winter tires if cost is an issue.
