I have 225/40/18 Hankook W300s that I put on my TC rims for winter. They're pretty sweet tires never got stuck once.

I have heard tho blizztaks are good and they are a full on winter tire. they will be better than the eagle f1 all seasons for sure. its in your best intrest to get winters for winter and great summer tires for summer. best performance all year around... if you want an all season and dont get much snow or ice in the winter that would be ok as well.

i run goodyear ultra grip winter perfomance tires and they are great! all season Mediocre on ice and snow..

Yes, those will work. I use the LM60 ones during winter. They are the same tread pattern, just a little different in the tire compound. The LM 60 is rated to 130 mph, while the WS 60 is rated to 106 mph.

I had no troubles with them in the NE Ohio snow. They went through everything that we had. When it gets warm out, they are very loose and the car will feel like its floating.

For a NY winter, they will work without a problem.

I can say right now that All Season's are not acceptable in the snow belt area on these cars.

Anyways, at OP: Blizzaks are one of the best you can get for snow tires.

I had Revo1's on my G5 and they were great.

I've used the blizzaks last winter, great tire IMO. We had a weak winter but they felt solid in the snow and ice. They also feel really good around 120km/h when it's just cold and dry out, a lot better then other winters I've owned, had x-ices on another car and they felt like I had no control above 110km/h.
