Blizzak rant:
I put the snows on last weekend - Blizzak ws-70 for their second season. It sure wasn't hard to tell which ones were on the back before. They will only last 2 winters, which is a good thing since they are the worst handling tires I have ever driven on. They do have good snow and ice grip, but are not very good in the rain. On dry pavement they are the terrible. They just don't want to track straight and I'm constantly fighting with the steering. The previous Blizzak iteration, the ws-60, were not like this at all. I'm going to have to adjust the wheel alignment just to accommodate the tires. I'm very disappointed that Bridgestone screwed up what used to be a good winter tire.
