Another tire that seems to be getting excellent reviews is the Hankook Winter iPike W409 It comes in at a much lower price than the Nokians which they seem to have copied.

So after reading this and other winter tire threads, I have a similar but slightly different question. I should mention that this is the first car I've had with performance tires so I'm out of my comfort zone.
I just picked up a 2009 Clubman JCW with around 19k miles. It has Dunlop SPORT 01 DSST 205/45R17 tires on it now. I live in Cincinnati and the Mini is my daily ride (by choice, I have another option for really messy days). The snow here is not terrible - we can get 1 or 2 bad snow days, but then I just stay home
So my question is do I go for a set of winter tires with or without wheels, or do I go for a new set of all-season tires to replace the Dunlops since they are getting old (20k is getting old isn't it?). I'm not planning on going to the track or anything like that, so getting high performance again is not a must have.
Thanks for any advice!
