Recomendations for snow capable tires

[Groo]

I know I'm not going to be happy with the OEM tires on my Hybrid XLT when the snow flies.

My first instinct is some AT tires, but maybe snow tires would be better
If I go with snow tires, I'd need another set of wheels too.

any recommendations for reasonably quiet ATs with a snow rating?

I'll let others chime in on ATs they recommend, but I would suggest that you also consider an All Weather (not all season) tire like Michelin CrossClimate2 or Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady2. They're snow rated and will probably beat an AT in most conditions except off-road. If you want the off-road capability, than an AT will probably be better for you.

Once my OEM Falken A/T3W's wear out, I'm going with the Nokian Outpost APT.

You're right, the OEM tires are made for milage and nice weather. I found a set of almost new wheels with OEM tires for $200 on Craigslist. I gave the tires away and mounted Blizzaks on them at Discount Tire. I'm very happy with the Blizzaks in the snow and Discount Tire changes them for me twice a year for free.

Michelin CrossClimate2's all the way. Can still hit 45-50MPG on my way to work and they're wet braking biased and hydroplaning resistant. I work emergency services so I rely on my tires to get me through any Northeastern storms that come. Got tired of swapping in true snows, these do just fine for anyone not living in the arctic circle.
