unrelated,
someone mentioned the inexspensive Ecstas at $500 (not including shipping, taxes, mounting bla bla) for 18"
I ran these briefly on my old car and they were purty good until I
tried them out on the Autocross(can you say oversteer) and quickly
swaped them for Azenis.
But for every day use? more than enough. I might give these a try since
this is the third time I tore into the sidewall of a $250+ tire
I'll have to budget for 18" snows soon too, arghhh...
here is some interesting testing data from the tirerack on the "most bang for buck" tire.

p.s.
I had the summer 712's and not the all season AST's.
There's also a useful link on the tire rack site that lists local installers
and discounts. A few in my area charge as little as $18 per tire.
