Good all around tires considering Minnesota snow.

Blizzaks or any tire with the mountain/snow flake sidewall symbol. 40k on snow tires is good.

I use Goodyear all season snow rated tires on my pickup.

Michelins have good tread life. But the longer the tread life the harder the tires are, and you want a softer compound for wet and cold weather.

Run two sets of tires, winter and all season for the rest of the year. Dedicated winter tires will not wear well in the summer.
