Time for another set. I used always Michelin Lattitude Xice series. Any other similar choice?

Where I live we keep M&S tires on year round cuz ya never know . I'm running Hankook DynaPro ATM's , and have chains in case of ice . Much more agressive tread pattern than the X-ice , and they don't roar on the highway . If my good friend Wally is right , they also wear very well . He ran a set on his Jeep for over 40k miles , has them on his P/U now but they're about gone - I think he got another 20k on them on the truck . Our SUV is heavier than his Jeep , but not driven as aggressively .

I put a set of Bridgestone Blizzak WS80 on our car last winter, and they seemed to do OK. They're on again now, but we haven't had much snow yet.
They were top-rated at TireRack.com last year, but I got them at Costco; not much difference in price with the $70 instant rebate at Costco. (At the moment, however, the $70 instant rebate is on Michelin, IIRC.)

Very happy with the Nokian I put on last year. The WR3G has a snow rating but can be used year round. They have other winter models too.

Blizzaks are fantastic snow tires but only in the cold. The reason they are so good in the snow is because of how soft they are. If they are driven in warm temperatures, they will wear very quickly.
You pay a lot for the snow performance, but you basically have to hope for long, cold winters in order to get your money's worth.

That Nokian is all weather rated but wears fast I heard. Just winter tire is pretty good. Blizzak when hew is excellent but when tread wears down it becomes no good 'coz rubber compound is is different. I am looking at Toy Ice Guard and Continental extreme contact. Summer tire on my new car is Continental. So will have to check it out little more.

+1. I couldn't find them the last time around and went with Hankook but I really liked the Hakis. One thing Finns understand is snow and ice.

Just finished installing a set of winter tires with OEM rims. Michelin does not have my size. Ended up with Toyo Observer SUV tires, 245/55/19. First impression, Toyo is as good as Michelin in the wet snow.
