I live in upstate NY and Im not going through another winter without winter tires. It sucked last year with the all-seasons. I was just wondering if the Michelin Artic Alpins are as good as the Blizzak WS-50's. I know everyone raves about the Blizzak's but the michelins look pretty good to me. (Plus I can get free motorola radios for hunting season) I'll probably get the Blizzaks but I was just wondering if anyone has experience with the Alpin's.

I thought the Alpins were a little bit better on dry roads with the Blizzak being better in snow. Either case I rememcer them being only marginally better. Really can't go wrong with either. Get the one you get a better deal on, if that includes the radios.

i'm thinking about the alpins too. they r supposed to handle better in the dry. i don't want to get the blizzaks and have them wear away on the dry pavement waiting for the snow days.


...and yes, I did SEARCH first before asking.

I was just told that my Pilot Alpins are in and I'm going to pay for them on Friday so I can get the free radios. I have P205-60-15's with some used 15" steel rims. Now I have to figure out which Contour hubcap to buy confused :p :p :p
