When I was researching tires for my syncro, I was told by a few
sources, incuding the local dealership which has its own tire dept. ,
that the Blizzaks do not do well with heavy autos. As I understand it,
the first layer of rubber on the tire is very soft and supple. This
allows the tire to gain tremendous grip on snow and ice, however, at
high speeds on normal pavement or heavy loads this layer of the tire
wears out very quickly.

So what you end up with is an expensive snow tire that works really
well, but with a short life span as a snow tire.

I have not used tires, this is just what I heard

I bought Hakkapallika 10s by Nokia - the spelling is most likely
incorrect - but I love these tires!
