Question 1989 G20 Stud Winter Tires

Hi, I've got a beautiful 1989 G20 and I want to put good winter studdable tires on it (I'm in the Yukon, snow and ice until next May...). It weights almost 3 tons. I had to put on summer tires 235/75r15 because I can't find any 225/75r15 over here. What would you recommend?

I put Firestone Winterforce tires on my G20 and went out and tried to spin it around in a parking lot covered in snow and I could not get it to do donuts. They're pretty good if you can get a set.

the cost to stud is $35/tire where i am. Its worth it imo. My area has black ice intermittently thru winter. my fwd car with studs can out perform 4wd without studs. After having studs, full snows without studs suck.
