RX 300 winter tires

Looking for winter tires for Northeast region.
What people think about Michelin Latitude X-Ice and Nokian WR SUV (size 225/70R16).

Check out the Tire Rack .com. I've been buying tires from them for 30 yrs. They just did a winter tire test. Also, look at their tire (surveys) for customer feedback on tire performance.

I run Nokian WR's on my LS430 as winter tires and they are great.

I just installed Nokian SUVs on my RX300. The dealer I went to sold Michelin X-Ice as well as all the other major brands. He recommended the Nokians over all the others. Great performance and longer wear. I live in Canada and have already driven them on snow and ice. Very impressed with the performance. Tires are a bit noisy but that is expected with winter tires.
