Need suggestions for Winter Tires

[B-Man]

Winter isn't too far away here and I need suggestions. Blizzacks seem to stick out in my mind because I always hear about them, but I'd like suggestions/experiences you all have had with winter tires.

Just move to Southern California and save money from buying tires. Here is the weather year around.

Just more to Southern California and save money from buying tires. Here is the weather year around.

That may happen sooner than you think.

I've never personally used Blizzaks, but there's a reason they stick out in your mind. They're among the very best snow tires.

Plus eleventybillion. I had them on my La Baron when I had to drive it in the snow. I would dare to say the only thing better is tank tread.

You will also see Dunlop 3D highly recommended. and you can get it in 3/S sizes, such as 245/45/17 and 245/40/18.

The new Blizzak looks to be preferred by tirerack:
Winter Tires for 2010

I will be getting a set of 3D for my wife's A4 Quattro.

wide tires are useless in snow and ice, a narrower tire is better like 215 or 225 max! these will dig in better than rumble across the surface like a 245 would.

Nokian's FTMFW!!! I had a set of Hakkapeliitta 2's on a DSM that then moved to my Subie 2.5RS. Those tires were F--ing awesome, I still miss them (and the cars). They now make the Hakkapeliitta 4 in a 245/40/18. Check out their webpage. They have studded and non studded both. I used to do some ice racing in the winter and I have beaten cars with studded tires with my non-studded Nokian's and had many people asking what I was using for tires. At events later in the year I saw more and more Nokian's.

Edit: For pure ice the blizzaks are no doubt good, but overall I thought the Nokian tires dominated.
