Currently going through the same exercise here. Driving from Dayton to Cincy and back daily.
My debate is good all season vs. something more solidly winter oriented. Either way they'll only be on the car for the cold weather months.
My current thinking is a solid set of all seasons, like Continental DWS on my stock rims. I've run the Contis on a couple cars now, and they do admirably in a couple inches of snow. When it snows heavily, I'll just work from home that day. Fortunately, I have that luxury.
Alternately, I'm thinking about something like Nokians or the Pirelli Sottozeros. I think Blizzaks, Scorpions, or the like will be overkill for southern Ohio Winters. We don't get heavy snow too often, and my understanding is that driving them over asphalt will wear them down pretty quickly.
Either way, I plan on putting them on the stock rims, and then, come Spring, buying some aftermarket rims, warm weather tires and then just swapping sets out as the seasons change. When I go on road trips, one of the stock 8inch wide wheels can go in the trunk as a spare.
If any of that seems poorly thought out, feel free to correct me.
