Hi,

Blizzaks claim is that after they were out the nice sticky top layer, 25K
miles someone said (say 3 winters) they are as good as any all seasons
tire....

another tire I saw that looked good was GoodYear Wrangler AT in M&S tread.
Good aggressive tread, friend has had a set on his Syncro Westy for 2
winters and drives a hell of a lot, no probs so far.  Sorry, can't remember
size/rating, pretty sure they are C rated.  I'd done 3 winters using Yoko
Y370s that are on year round. Not enough tread to keep me happy in snow
now, plenty left for other 3 seasons. Probably <40K miles. They weren't M&S
to begin with!!  Also have a pair of Goodyear Eagles in 205/70/14 M&S which
did fine too, limited use though.  They are 4 plies, had them on the 2WD
crewcab.  BFG-MudTerrains sucked in hardpack last winter, too little actual
tread in contact with road, and no siping.

bye, Tim
