Snow tires

[VanGo]

I'm picking up a couple matching aluminum rims today. I plan to get snow tires for the rear. Anyone had good experience with a particular brand? Nothing too expensive. We don't have long winters.
I hear mixed opinions on limited slip rearends. Should that be in my long range plans? I bought the 'burb for an occasional boat towing, but it is fun to drive.

have you looked at the winter tire options at www.tirerack.com ?

Yes, and they only suggested one dedicated tire by Firestone. It wasn't cheap. Surely there are others. For as often as I need them, I could go used or even retread. Not sure what to look for in tread pattern. I need to do some Googling.

Found more listed. Firestone is the least expensive
