Blizzaks, actually. This picture is actually from the day I put them on.

Oddly is hasn't snowed since that day, it actually rained here yesterday.

How do you like the Blizzaks? I am running the LM-60's and they grip better than the WS-60's I had before.

I too have the LM-60s. They're great, I had the same ones on my 500rwhp Mustang last winter.

They transform this car in the snow from pathetic to capable.

It actually wasn't too bad. It was a twin screw S/C car so the drivability was relatively good (as long as I stayed under 4k rpm...).

Yes they do.

This mild weather is crazy compared to last winter. It has snowed a total of 3 times and the snow hasn't lasted more than 24 hours on any occasion.

Pathetic is an understatement with the Contis. I learned the hard way.

I bet you can't wait to get that salt off eh?

We have had the same pathetic winter thus far this year. The last few years I have really depended on my Dunlop snows, on each on of my cars. The best were the Dunlop M3 tires I had on the Z4M Coupe. That thing was great in the snow!

I'm starting to kick myself for buying snow tires.

Bring it on January, February, and March!

That's always the way. I bought snow tires for the Fiat 500 3 weeks ago and haven't seen a lick of accumulation here in Chicago. The Z4MC I've left on its Contis to take it out those rare nice days (supposed to hit 48 next week).
