Semperit snow tires...any experience?

[Craig D. Niederst]

My Blizzaks that I have used for 4 seasons are pretty much shot, so I am
shopping for some new snows. The Blizzaks were an impressive snow/ice tire,
but the wet/dry handling left a lot to be desired (like driving on Jello
tires). From my internet research, it appears that most Q-rated snow tires
share the above handing characteristics...great in ice and snow, and
terrible in wet and dry conditions. Being from western PA, winters are a big
question mark...some are very mild, but others kind of nasty. I have summer
tires on the car now, so I definitely need some sort of snow tire. Discount
Tire Direct has a snow tire in my 195 65 15 size called a Semperit Sport
Grip that has a T speed rating. I have looked online for info on this tire,
and all of the reviews are in German (looks like they did pretty well in the
tests from the Babelfish translation). Anyone on the list try these snows?
At $65 a piece (free shipping), they are a good deal money wise, just
wondering how they perform.
