Horrible winter tires...

My mom's Toyota Camry has fairly new set of Michelin HydroEdge tires - they are pretty awsome in the non-winter months but when I drove the car today during a good size snow storm the car felt like a toboggan - I mean, we were all over the road... these things are slicker than snot in snow... In fact after parking the car in her driveway with a slight incline the car slid back good 10=15 ft before stopping...

Was thinking that I need to get her a set of Bridgestone Blizzaks

Or the Continental XtremeWinterContact:

She just needs two for the front (FWD)... any other good picks out there?
