re:WINTER TIRES

I used to have a coupe Qq with 4 1st generation blizzaks and I thought the 
blizzaks were horrible. The ONLY think they did well was grip on ice, but they 
were so squooshy on dry pavement that I didn't even like driving the car. 
Currently, on my 200 qw, I run the older h-rated pirrelli winter 210, which, 
like a previous noter mentioned, handles on dry like an allseason tire, and I 
find to be very suffciant in snow and ice. On my wife's mbs 190 2.3-16, I have 
four pirrelli winter master ice tires (q-rated), and the car does amazingly 
well in snow/ice  with those, PLUS, it doesn't handle like a 63 crown imperial 
with no shocks.

I would get any of the pirrellis again, since they seem to have the best combo 
of dry handeling vs snow/ice performance.
