I think we get too many warm days, and thus our snows tend to wear fast, as they have been going on early and coming off late (Thanksgiving to April, something like that).
If you think temperature is warm for those tires, go with Michelin X-Ice 3.
Here is CO we have always sun, but once snow comes it can get nasty. So hypothetically X-Ice would be best choice, but then when we do get snow it can get really bad, plus driving in the mountains, it is already snowy.
So, I would just go with Michelin. While Nokian will be better in snow and slush, overall quality is not anything close to Michelin.
