Default WOW! Blizzak LM22s!!!

All I can say is WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW!

Had to travel back from Indianapolis back to Columbus today. I-70 east bound was wet and rain came down pretty steady and all you can see is water everywhere. Passing next to another vehicle or staying behind them for closer than 5 car length was tough choice because of poor visibility due to so much water being kicked off by tires.

I couldn't believe how stable and controlled the car felt with Blizzak LM22s. Heck, with this much performance from winter tires on dry, wet and snow I am starting to think that I should keep LM22s on my S2000 all year around since I rarely track my car and I do need tires that are much more stable than stock S02s that I just sold on less than perfect weather conditions.

Guys, I couldn't believe it. All my previous FWD cars with all season performance tires didn't do this well on heavy wet road! My S2000 equipped with LM22s behaved phenominal! Car was completely in control and never once I felt any sudden movements from rear. SUVs and other cars were driving right around speed limit due to wet condition but I had no problem driving at any desired speed I choose.

Unbelivable! I could honestly say, I felt more safer in my S2000 with LM22s than any previous vehicles I owned which had either decent wet traction rated or all season performance tires.

awesome tire!

yes i agree they are a great tire BUT they tend to melt in the heat. therefore, you do not want to use them year round (unless you live in alaska)

Those LM-22s were great in that last snow we had. I'm glad I have them.

Last year, Hardtopguy told me that warm weather driving chews up these tires very fast. As soft as the rubber is on these tires, that's no surprise. So if you're considering keeping them on year-round, plan on buying new tires often.

Yeah, definately not a year round tire, but like I said, i've had these for 3 seasons now, and they are still going on strong. I've driven many km's on them in dry, cold conditions.

They'll melt for sure in the summer, but any time between October and April they are a stellar tire.

I have had the LM-22 on my S4 for three winters and they still work great.

The sipes are definitely showing signs of wear, but the tires still perform very well.

It is time to switch them out and put the 18's w/P-Zeros back on the car.

I totally agree with the points here.

I have been using the LM 22s for three years and they make a useless winter car into a capable one.

Based on my good experiences for the S2000 I put a set on my 04 TL.
