i second this. i work in the tire industry and the company i work for doesnt sell blizzaks, but they are one of, if not the BEST snow tire on the market in my opinion and many other tire techs will tell you that. the traction that they provide wether you are good at driving a car or not is phenominal. and the tredlife on them is actually pretty good given the fact that they are a snowtire.

I have ran blizzaks and will say they are awesome in the Snow and Ice. One downfall is the soft compound rubber that once above freezing temperatures they will wear allot faster. The second is cost they are real expensive compared to most other brands. I am running Firestone Winterforce this year due to there harder compound as well as the reviews. That and the fact I am have a buy 3 get one free deal from my tire shop.
I would go talk to your local tire shop and tell him what you want out of the tires and if you are going to run them thru fall and spring or not. Are you planning on swapping in the summer if not them find a real good all season.
I will be swapping tires and rims in the late spring myself.
