The LM-25s worked great for me last year. Can't wait to get back into some snow.

Default which blizzaks?

the WS 50 are horrible in the dry. the LM25 are pretty good in the dry and wet but less snow and ice traction.

Default both are good

The Blizzak WS 50 are squishy, but are great in real snow and ice. Dry performance is poor. Wet performance is less than an AW tire

Blizzak LM22 and 25 are excellent winter tires, more than adequate with the AWD but still good dry and wet road performance. The M3's are similar.

I have had WS50s, Dunlop M2 and M3. A friend has used the LM25. I am putting M3's on my new car this year.

I have never used, nor has anyone I know used, the Nokian WR, which is sort of a high speed high performance Hakkapeliitta. they are supposed to be awesome. I cannot speak to those tires personally.
