SNOW TIRE Advice?

[greengumby]

Hi ALL : first time in the snow with the PAthy, Live upstate NY not in the City so I will get deep snow this year (AGAIN) any good recomendations?

I run snow tires every year (on separate rims for ease of switching).
I just picked up a used set on kijiji (3 winters ago).
Can't even tell you the brand, but I don't think it will make much difference what kind they are.
Any winter tire will be better than all seasons.

Bridgestone Blizzaks

[doode]

Ive run Goodyear DuraTracs and Ive run Blizzacks

one is pretty much a mud tire and the other one is a conventional winter tire

The DuraTracs were awesome in loose powder and deep snow up to 8" but were absolutely useless in slush / compact snow /icy conditions

The Blizzaks are much better for 90% of the winter driving, not so great in deep snow because the tread isn't aggressive enough to dig out the snow

i found a fairly decent price on a set of Blizzak DM-V1's they handle both Snow and Ice and still able to grip the dry pavement, Also looking at Michelin's X Ice series as well

Agreed. Running Bridgestone Blizzaks on a set of older 17" Konig wheels. This is the first set of "winter tires" I have ever purchased - went with Blizzaks because they were on sale and had good reviews. Definitely better than any all season I have had.
