Default M3s or blizzacks seem to be the best for winter. I decided on the M3s after soem people at the

cliffs drive raved about their older M2s. I know Dr. Gp has all seasons in your area. All seasons do everythign well but nothing great. Its a weighinng test you need to do. You'll go through 2 all seasons or 1 pair od winters or summers. In the end it sort of works equal plus a set or rims.

I had all weathers for a brief period last year but did not get much out of them, so I have no problem with having one summer set and a winter set. Thanks for the suggestion.

Default I live in metro Philly

I run M3's

I did run WS-50 Blizzaks on one car, but they were overkill for the snow we get. They were fantastic in the snow, squishy in the dry and not real great in the wet with performance below that of all weather tires.

Default Wrong Blizzaks! The LM-22s are the way to go. I use them here in Philly

and they are fine on wet pavement as well as snow. They climb trees!

Default You are absolutely right

The WS-50's were overkill for my use. I am happier with the M3's, but i do hear good things about the LM25
