Winter tires

Got Nokian WR G2's in 215/45/17. I read great reviews on them online and obviously the guy at the store told me they were the best winter tire out there, but I would really appreciate some opinions from you guys

Thanks a lot guys and gals.

I got all seasons for the winter, it all depends on typical conditions in your area.

Thanks guys. Just cancelled that order and got Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D. From what I read those should be decent snow shoes.
