Just to echo some of the other comments on Blizzaks; I've had a couple sets on Saabs over the years. They are indeed great on ice when new, and on snow; the ice qualities wear off as the first layer of special-compound rubber does, and the dry handling is definitely not as good as your all-seasons will be. They were nice to have here in Grand Rapids, especially for a car that wasn't out on the highways much, but I'm getting along with all-seasons for now and might think about something a bit more versatile like the Nokians if I go to a winter tire again.
