I've used Blizzaks. Those things were like having suction cups on the road. I never lost traction once compared to all teh others sliding and skidding all over.

Pretty expensive though but good.

Only to liven up the forum.

Besides, it's looking like a common trend that tire manufacturers are using natural products. In your case, Toyo is touting walnut shells as the next breakthrough in winter traction. Nokian is using canola oil and silica, and also brags about being a high-aromatic oil free tire (along with their trademark sipes and such).

As long as it's got the severe service emblem (mountain snowflake), that's all that counts really.

Buy what you want but 90% of snows last 1 maybe 2 seasons. I've had my Toyos for 4 seasons!
