any opinions on these tires?<BR>i want to change tires this summer & have been doing the internet research thing - these tires seem pretty good.<BR>my criteria - all season, good performance/cornering, have to be as good as possible on snow & ice. think i'm asking for too much??

yeah...<P>i would do it right, and get some Blizzaks for ice, and then a nice set of summer wheels and tires for the nice weather. Both sets will last longer, and youll have better performance in both situations.

well sir, i do agree with you but i may be too cheap to go with 2 sets of tires and wheels. i have always made it with all season tires, only now i'd like something with a bit of zoom-zoom. thanks

the more dry performance you have, the less snow traction you'll have....simple fact of how the contact patch works. Good luck
