Default I hate ice

Guys..or girls. My car has been stranded in the shop for a week because of the ice storm here. I hate to take it out in this crap but I really have no choice. What are some good snow tires for the stock 17x9 SS wheels?

It's Bridgestone's snow/winter tire product line. Personally, I prefer the Nokian line for winter/snow, but they don't go up to the sizes needed for a 17x9, so yeah Pirelli, Dunlop, or Bridgestone are your best bets. I would keep the width down as much as possible (245/45 17), remember you want as NARROW as possible for winter.
