I've heard a lot of good things about those.

I run the Dunlop Wintersport M3 on my Legacy. They are fantastic wet, dry, and snow.

I've been running Firestone Winterforce studded - but the Hankook's seem to be getting better reviews. I'd rock them - studded. But our side roads are snow covered and iced over from December till the end of March.

i used snow tires one season and saw ZERO need for them and said fuck it never again. All season and i'm good to go. didn't even feel the need for them when i lived in a serious snow zone like the upper peninsula of michigan (141 inches per year of snow)

Yeah - you probably don't need studs - plus I don't think you can stud used tires anyway.

My car came with some bridgestone WS70's (I believe) and they are pretty awesome. Great in the snow, half way decent on dry pavement. My only comparison really is some Firestone Winterforce I got for the G20 last year, and compared to those, they wear WAY better, handle way better in the dry and significantly better in the ice. Deep snow is about the same.

For whatever reason, the choch that previously owned my car got a set of blizzaks for the winter and a set of winter-biased all-seasons for the summer :eh:
