They are probably the best all around tire out there right now. Travis I think runs them in the snow and said they did well.
Serious Studless ice and snow like blizzaks are made of a compound that is almost like sand so in the snow they are awesome but they wear out on the dry. They call this a silica compound. I don't drive much so its not an issue but it might be for you.

My thing is our winters have been nothing the past few years and we run on the dry roads more than snowy roads during the winter. I just cant justify riding on winter tires with an awd when it barely snows anymore....The snow we had last year these tires did very well for me and while maybe not as good as blizzacks would have been they got me around with 0 issues.
If anyone's interested in a X or just for $hits and giggles, now's the chance to test drive one and not feel guilty about beating on a brand new car that someone's gonna buy!
Sorry, I just saw this was directed at Mike...
Thanks for the responses about the tires guys. I got some good info from another forum too. Those Bridgestone tires look like a great option considering their price and obviously they're still decent enough to grip well.
Honestly though, Travman, are they really okay for the snow? Because I know certain A/S tires really suck in the snow.
Michelin Pilot Sports are great tires and I'd buy them if I could afford them. Too expensive for me.

Used X
Well someones eyes were bigger than his budget....He bought it at another dealer ,owned for a month came up to baierl after going back to the dealer he bought it from trying to get them to buy it back off him......He traded it on a used honda civic............The car is brand new , just with a few miles on it....Last I saw They still wanted alot of money for it, but that price is very negotiable...
