What winter tires are residents of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa buying? I'm leaning towards something like the Artic Alpins.

Favorite passtime of upper midwest is beating dead animals?

Went with Pirelli 210A's...

I was planning on going with the Dunlop M2's, but after talking with Eddie at Tirerack, I
became convinced that Pirelli 210A's were a better choice for me.

Pretty much he said they both are great tires. Though, the M2's are a slightly better
snow/ice tire. In comparison, the 210A's are a better winter month tire for dry
pavement/highway driving. Thus a tradeoff. In essense, if you get a lot of snow per
year, go with the M2's. If your snow if spotty and roads are cleared pretty fast, go with
the 210's.

I was also thinking 210A's but wasn't sure about the differences. You pretty much summed it up right there. =)

Thanks,

Gee... why is no one using Blizzak MZ02?
Eddie at tirerack sain these were the best,
although the Dunlop_M2 and Pirelli_210A
handle better.
