First of all... Congratulations on the new Aero! You live in Switzerland eh? Will you be stopping by Hirsch Performance?

I'm also currently researching what winter tires I'm putting on my car. I'm sticking with the 17" as my car doesn't see too much snow either, I'm looking for something thats good in sub-zero temperatures, ice, slush, and wet.
The tires you've listed are all reasonable choices and their on my list as well The only Blizzak I'm interested in is the LM22, all of the others have a multi-cell compound which, after about one winter, wears off and you're basically left with an "all season" tire.
In addition to what you've listed, I'm also considering:

Pirelli winter 240 snowsport- basically a higher performance alternative to the 210

Toyo Garitt HT- a friend has these on his car and loves them

Continental ContiWinter contact TS790- recommended by someone on this BB

Michelin Pilot Alpin- Unlike others on this BB, I've always been a fan of Michelin and I'm quite happy with the Pilot Primacy's which came on my car.

So far I'm leaning towards the Michelin, Dunlop, or Bridgestone. I've never really liked Goodyear, but availability might be and issue and I'd like to stick with the more well known brands. I haven't started getting price quotes, but the larger number of dealers for the major brands should help out a bit on the price side of things.

Good luck with your new car, post any interesting finds regarding snow tires or email me if you find an interesting alternative.

Brad
