Default Blizzaks, how I love thee

1.) 4x4's with no traction
2.) Cars spinning on the roads
3.) Cars in the ditch
4.) Cars/Trucks staying home because the roads are "terrible"

5) One S2000 driving around with no problems at all, always getting looks from the plows....



Traction has been great, even better than most of the other ones out there. At high speeds they're loud, but in snow they are tremendous....

haha you're in MI too? i saw a CLK430 this morning doing circles and getting stuck.. lol

btw do you have WS50 or LM22? my friend has the LM22 and says it just does not even compare to WS50 in snow/ice traction. He swears he'll get WS50s next time.

so I don't have a lot of experiance with snow tires, so I choose to go with LM-22's, and they seem to work well.

There is something about michigan drivers. They know how to drive, but just seem to forget when the snow comes down. The worst are the SUV's that go flying by at 80 during a snow storm. Usually they're in the ditch 3 miles later. Maybe it's me, but they forgot about the small car here..... I love mine though

Garage queens be damned!

Nice to read from another MI person. It was amazing to actually get to work in this recent weather, safely and without any slip from the rear wheels, while seeing so many trucks on the side of the road.

I have not had these on the my S, but I have on some other vehicles of mine and I agree they are amazing! If you live in the crazy snowy parts of the country I would put snow tires on any car!
