I was thinking about those same tires... I havent talked to anyone that has owned these but they seem to be decent for sure.

 

About the Winter Sports, I emailed Neal@tirerack about Blizzak LM-25's and he said if I wanted something cheaper to look at the Winter Sports because they are good as well.

 

Here we go STEELERS

 

I just ordered the Dunlop Winter Sports FTW

 

The Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D seemed to work well for me yesterday

I talked to Luke at TireRack when I was deciding between these and Blizzaks and he said go with these.

 

Nice.......(edit) i almost ordered but decided to research some more, its so much money to spend

 

Blizzak WS-50 Went through snow like it wasn't there. Not good on dry. LONG stopping distances very annoying

Blizzak Revo 1 Excellent in the snow. Also vague on the highway.

Blizzak LM-22. Good enough, but not the tire the WS-50's were. Better in the dry though

Dunlop Grapsic version 2 - I have these now. They are very good, even excellent in the snow. Very vague at highway speeds and mushy in corners. Driving routinely on unploughed city streets in the early mornings of winter I needed a pure snow tire. They SUCK at everything else. Pretty cheap though.

Michellin X-ice 2. These are on my wife's car now. Great in the dry and as good as the dunlops in the snow I would have gotten these on the evo but they aren't made in that size anymore.

 

How did you feel these were on the highway? Anyone else?

 

I felt they were acceptable but not worth the tradeoff in snow traction vs. the ws-50.

A lot of pure snows, like the x ice 2, ws-50/60 wear pretty quickly as they are made of a "silica" compound which is very soft.

FYI: Mondo has the lm-22's on his car now.

 

yeah i like the lm22's. mine are getting a little long in the tooth, this is their 4th season right now, but they still do quite well.

i don't have any real trouble to speak of in the snow, and they're acceptable on drive pavement.

 

Thanks guys. I'm getting a set next weekend. I'm on Fuzion ZRi's right now...

I drove from Wexford to South Park last night on them. I am a moron for having them on this long.

 

oh man what a game!

SUPERBOWL BOUND!!!!!!!

 

 

that's a fantastic first post on page 1000 paul.

ironic a subie guy got it though

 

Thanks! sorry about the back seat driving at the rally-x, but that was fun as hell!

My experiment with all season is done as well, has anyone used the hankook icebears? They seem like the cheapest I found.

and Jer's wagon was fun too and seemingly unstoppable!
