For pure ice and snow traction, I have not tried anything that comes close to the Blizzak WS series. I've used the Michelin X-ice (mediocre), as well as the Continentals (a bit better than Michelin, but not nearly as good as the Blizzaks), but I keep coming back to Bridgestone for snow tires. I haven't been terribly impressed by any of their other tires, but if all you care about is the absolute best traction on snow and ice, the WS-70s are the way to go (I haven't tried the Blizzak LM-60 "performance" winter tires though, so I can't comment on them). I would like to try the Nokians sometime though - I've heard great things about them.
