Replacement tires for 1998 Subaru Forester S

I am looking for replacement tires for my 1998 Subaru Forester S. I
live in Minnesota and need good snow and ice traction. I looked at
several postings in this group and reviewed many options on Tirerack.

The Continental ContiExtremeContact (Ultra High Performance
All-Season) seem to appeal to me the most. They have a really good
user approval rating with respect to both snow traction and tread
wear. What do you think about installing Ultra High Performance
All-Seasons on the Forester?
 
Are you looking for a winter only tire as a second set or a year round set?
My Blizzak LM-02's were great in ice and snow (in fact I have a set on e-bay
size 205/70R15 since they don't fit my 2004 Outback). I used to have Blizzak
WS-50's which had great snow traction but lacked cornering of the LM-02's.
My new Outback will be getting WS-02's since no other Blizzak styles came in
my size.
 
I am looking for one year round set. The Blizzaks are great winter
tires but I am not looking to replacing tires every winter. Thanks
for your feedback.
 
Yeah.. those Blizzaks are good for about 30k miles and then they are
basically an allseason set. not worth buying them unless you plan on buying
new ones every winter..
