Luke is right. Blizzak's transformed my RWD Volvo wagon. The only bummer is they handle like they are made of pencil erasers especially above 60 deg F.
Nokians are ok, but I've gotten stuck with Nokian WR's at least once in a 1991 300TE wagon. My wife has Nokian Vaativa's on her Mountaineer, and they seem to be ok for year round use. The 4WD makes it pretty good in snow no matter what. Blizzak's are nice because they give you real traction on packed snow and ice. You can actually go about 35 on glare ice ... and be able to stop amazingly well.
