Default struggle gettin new tires

I live in Spokane, WA where the whole winter must below 32F.
I don't know should I say it snow a lot here or not, but it snows
Like we got 5-8 inches just by tonite
Since I'm now running a pair of Walmart good year tires in the front and Federal Summer Performance tires at the back and I'm a broke college student

My problem is......I'm strugglin my best deal on gettin a set of tires
1. Is it better to get one of these sets of tires I found on local craigslist
http://spokane.craigslist.org/pts/523656083.html
http://spokane.craigslist.org/pts/537435935.html
Option 2 doesn't look like that much tread left to handle the snow
2. or just get a new set of Bridgestone Potenza G009 (I want either 195/55/15 or 205/50/15)
3. Bridgestone Potenza 960 (will 195/60HR15 or 205/60HR15 look really thick and weird on my ride?)
4. get a new set of Bridgestone Blizzak WS-60 (best winter tires on tirerack)

Thanks

Just get them new. In the Northwest, a good set of tires is a must for our harsh weather conditions.

get all seasonal tires if your planning on running the same tires in the summer as well. snow tires wear out very fast during the summer.
