I have Hankook Ice Bear's; living in Denver, these tires get me up to the mountains to ride the rockies with NO problems whatsoever! Last winter I barrelled through a foot of fresh powder near St. Mary's Glacier, felt like a snow plow! Can't do that anymore as I have installed the APS cold air. But regardless...the tires do their job! Just my .02 cents.

I highly recommend the Dunlop Winter Sport M3, great all around traction. I can post some pics of my Evo getting out of my driveway with over a foot of snow using these tires.

My car was wearing the ContiExtremes last winter. Excellent grip in the wet stuff, and ok in the dry. This tire is a great choice for those who don't have extreme winters but have enough snow on the ground to make it messy once in a while. I had zero traction problems in the snow and enough dry grip to keep me happy.

I have the bridgestone blizzaks (selling the set due to the fact that i no longer need my evo in the winter, pm me if interested, excellent condition and only used 2 months). these tires are awesome!! the evo felt like a tank in the snow! i highly recommend them to anyone that lives in an area that gets a good amount of snow. i used these in denver and i was surprised how much of a difference they make.

i am currently using a set of continental extreme contact(also selling these, pm if interested) and these tires are nice. they have very good tread wear and good performance on wet roads. the thing i like the most about these is they improve ride quality and noise alot compared to the stock set up.

either way, you cant go wrong, but if it snows alot where you live, then i definitely recommend the blizzaks.

I been using continental extreme last year and they are a good all around all season tire. Worked okay in the dry, wet, snow, ice, but they werent perfect at anything. I wish it would grip a little more in the dry though. I guess you cant have everything. With these tires Im just looking for light snowfall to play with
