I was wondering which tire would work better for me...the Artic Alpin or the Blizzak WS-50. I like the looks of the Artic Alpin, but the WS-50 looks like a better snow tred design. Any help would be appreaciated. ------------------ 2000 SE Sport Toredore Red, MTX 1994 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo 320HP Stock 2000 SE Sport Toredore Red, MTX Clarion Pro Audio CD H.U.

Especially taking off and stopping. Look at the stats yourself at the tire rack I believe they compair those tires side by side the numbers don't lie they are a great tire.
