I'm sure they're a great tire, but I think having confidence in your tires is almost as important as how well the tires handle, and the Blizzaks would be starting out a man short with my previous experience. Mind you, the guy that had them did drive like a maniac.
Don't get us wrong. The Blizzaks are an amazing tire. It's just that its multicell compound makes it more ideal for some winter conditions than others. Considering you're doing highway jaunting like lauraq and myself, Blizzaks aren't for you. Most of the winter driving we see are salted or semi-slushed roads. There's ice, but most of time the MTO trucks have already salted them down.
PS. Who knows...maybe one of these days all us 401/407 roadies will cross paths one day
