Well, may be a little late to the party as it is right after Thanksgiving and some parts of the country already have the white stuff, but worth a shot. BP and I had a late lunch and we got to talking about snow tires. The whats, whys and wheres, so to speak.

What are you folks running for winter? Give is some ideas of driving habits, impressions of your chosen snow tire and weather pattern in your geography, tire and wheel size would help, too.

For me, I went back to Blizzaks this season. Spent the past two on Connie EWC and was less than impressed. We will see how the WS80s do this year.

Car: 2006 ZHP Coupe
Tires: Blizzak WS-80
Size: 205/50-17
Habits: Chronic speeder with about 40k behind the wheel
Marginal snow accumulation - slushy mix with wet pack and some ice.

Impressions so far: Twitchy as hell on the dry. As expected. May go with a different offset or spacers to widen the rear track a bit. But, looking forward to the white stuff to test these out.
