[V8] Winter Tire Question

Time to buy snow tires.

Now with the price of gas being what it is, the reduced gas mileage due to
snow tires becomes a key factor in what kind of tires I buy.  Historically,
when I switch from my summer road tires to winter snows, I see an INSTANT
drop in gas mileage of at least ten percent -- maybe more.  If I can improve
my gas mileage, even with using more expensive tires, I can save money over
time.

Does anyone have an M/S tire they'd recommend that does not send my gas
mileage to the toilet?  I don't use studded tires.

I am not looking for a high-performancee tire.  My V8 is just a set of
wheels to get me from Point A to Point B.  Any recommendations of BTDT would
be appreciated.

Thanks,
