Well, you didn't say where you live, but here in Northern Iowa I run
Blizzaks on my Coupe Quattro in the winter.  I feel they do a great job
in snow, slush, and some ice, but they live much to be desired if you're
going to be travelling at highway speeds on dry roads.   I like to
compare it to driving on four semi-melted marshmellows!  ;-)   Most of
my driving is around town and at 45mph or under, so the Blizzaks work
well.
