Cooper Weathermasters and Blizzaks make blingin' snow tires. I'm more of a Weathermaster fan.

They don't wear for shit (really soft) so don't use them in the summer.

he had a link though to all season tire. So they make both. I say for 40 bucks a tire you can't go wrong.

Awesome tires and definitely dirt cheap but they're only meant for constant temperatures BELOW 50*, in other words winter ONLY. If you run them year round they will last you one season (if that), so you're better off getting an all-season tire.....

Comming from a person who has been in the tire industry for almost 2 years as both a salesman and a tech. Those are great winter tires. The technology they put in blizzacks is awsome. But as said above. They may say all season. But do NOT..I repeat do NOT run them in the summer as an every day tire. They will wear very fast. I saw it all the time in the year that I was a tech.

Winter = thumbs up
summer = NAY!

I used to run blizzaks and they will wear down right in front of you if you run em during spring/summer.

^^^ Last year (`07) I ran my WS-50s on my beater Taurus until early-June and couldn’t believe how fast the tread started wearing. I was just being a lazy a$$ but I guarantee you it will be the last time I do that. I easily subtracted another winter season off of them by leaving them on a month (or two) longer.....:durr :loser :chair: :punch:
