Doug and I had this discussion before... And I agree. There's no such thing as "performance all season" tires. Well, after driving my Maxima for 2 snow seasons, I've quickly realized that the "all season" part of my tires just arn't cutting it.

So, I got a set of 4 Blizzaks (WS-50) with 4 steel rims from TireRack.




So, BRING ON THE SNOW. (I should be careful of what I wish for... )

Those are great. They are real soft so wait till Thanksgiving before putting them on and get them off by last week in March if you want 2 winters out of them.

You do not want to run those bad boys until winter is really here. Depending on how many miles and how hard you drive you might get welll beyond 2 years with them. It is true the first part of the tire compound that gets worn is the softest with these, but they are still darn good even when you get past the softest compond.

Congrats John!

Gone shopping at Sears yet?

John,
You must not of heard the news!!! WE WILL NOT BE GETTING ANY SNOW THIS YEAR. So we can keep our S on the road all year.
Or maybe I dreamed it, but it sounds good to me.

BTW, the Pirelli P-Zero Nero UHP all-seasons are pretty darned good in warm weather. I'd say that they're easily as good as the UHP Potenza RE750s I've been running instead of S02s. Yes, the S02s are definitely a better tire but I'm trying to keep costs down *reasonably*. Whether these work out for winter driving remains to be seen. I haven't used snow tires since I moved back into NY in 1981. 99.99% of my driving is on plowed, if not dry, pavement. I don't live in East Jesus, PA where snow plows are a new concept. I'd try driving in most situations, just not 3 foot snowfalls. Of course, I wouldn't do so on snow tires, either, unless I had a good reason to be on the road. I ain't worried about me - it's the other crazies out there...

Doug,
That forecast and pictures are a real downer. I HATE SNOW ! BAH HUMBUG !
I guess I better get that blower tuned up and ready.
I saw some pictures you put up last year of your driveway so nicely shoveled,
you are welcome to keep mine up like yours

That is 1 dream I wish was coming true.

Quit me... That's next on the list.

The snow scene pics look so depressing. Look at the sky! Grey, no sun... Ugh.

I had a similar dream... where hell froze over.
