Winter Tires?
The original poster didn't ask where to find reviews from your buddies at tirerack. He asked about snow tires.
Yes I'm saying 75% of the reviews are crap. Yes a tire will perform different on two different cars. The bar is already set really high since the Evo has A046's. So a guy reviewing the S-03 may think its an amazing stiff tire, while the Evo owner will feel it has a soft sidewall. I'm not going to go to far with this cause its obvious where its heading.
Now there are some reviews I've seen there that are helpful and they did come from 911 owners, Impreza owners and so forth. Tire shoot-outs on performance cars are different from a personal review with no details of how the driver tested the tire...OMG he drives spirited.
An avid sportbike rider has nothing to do with what you know. An avid rider means crap...you could be running Pilot Power H2's with 3" chicken strips, or scrubbing the hell out of them. I read lots of motorcycle tire reviews, the make of the bike and the experience of the driver and the conditions will play a huge factor in whether its a good review or not.

Who pissed in your cherios? I was helping the guy out. Here is the link to the winter tire section I was talking about.
I think that I'm going to go over to the BMW forums to learn about my Evo IX now.... going to a dedicated Evo forum is the wrong way to go... rignt ashumo?
All kidding aside, you have to take everything with a grain of salt and going to a dedicated forum for tires is where I choose to get some knowledge.

Good for the occasional snow, but its not going to cover you if your to wreck in a snow zone where traction devices/tires are required.
I used them on my wrx wagon in the late season...i prefer a dedicated tire. They are pretty decent in the rain, and dry conditions. Dont know how they are on the evo though.

blizzack
Blizzack tires are great. I lived in Breckenridge Colorado for 5yrs 300inches of snow average. The blizzacks were perfect not much they couldn't handle. little pricey but in new jersey winters not much snow or length. You will get a few season out of them easily. I have used them on ford minivan,jeep cherokee, vw golf, ect. Don't have a bad thing to say about them. I like that guys are arguing over what retailer is better.
I need to buy a set for my car.
