just wanted to second this. ran blizzaks for a full year(i was gonna get summer tires, just never happened), and the next winter was no better than all seasons even though the tires still had 75% tread left. i ran them into the next spring and they started acting like cheap slippery all-seasons by the time i replaced them with 60-68% tread left...

i've been told by an alberta, can guy that dd's a modded g35 that the nokians are the best in snow, and their tread depth doesn't change their performance as drastically as the blizzaks.
