Ah, another fellow jersey-er. I picked up a set of LM-60s and I gotta say I wasn't a fan when I first got them and they still feel too wobbly compared to stock, BUT, they're pretty damn good for what they are.

too much Jersey in here LOL....Had the blizzaks too soft and not great on dry roads....switched to winter sport 3d's great overall tire pretty decent in snow....now on Michelin Pilot Alpine PA3'3 (have to admit I am biased toward Michelin because I have seen their R&D facilities and I know how they designed this tire) I like these more than either especially on dry roads, comfort level is definitely better although we drive evo's, they get to temp fast and stick, and they are great in the snow we have had so far this season (which isn't ****) but enough to experience it lol

kumho kw22 225 40 18 with studs is what i'm using.. their great on everything deep, light, icy and compact snow surfaces.. on the dry they are loud as hell, they are also predictible on dry surfaces but you will "drift" when pushing the limits.. so if your going fast in a corner you will 4 wheel drift so make sure you have enough room before lighting them up too badly. ive been hard on my tires this season. ive done about 6000km on them so far.. tread wear is minimal and all the studs are in good shape. i'm only missing one stud in all 4 tires. they handle gravel roads amazingly with gravel mode on. 120km/hr before things even get squirely.

I have Dunlap Winter Sport 3D's that I have been using during winter in Colorado the past 3 years and they are amazing. I have them in 245 40 on the stock GSR rims, couldn't be happier.
