I am able to drive my car in dry conditions with any OEM size tires on it.

I don't have the old Blizzaks so I can't tell you the model they were. Tread depth was at least 8/32" on the old tires. Same width on the new as the old tires.
When driving on a dry road you could feel that the front tires, the OLD ones, were 'rolling over' more than the rear, NEW ones. Possibly due to a stiffer sidewall, I am guessing. On a wet or slippery road this would have been deadly and it sure didn't inspire confidence on a dry road. Any sudden turn of the wheel to avoid an accident would probably cause one.
WFIW the latest Porsche Panorama mag has a question about tires too. The conclusion is the same as my posting. Don't mix brands or tire models.
If you want to drive with whatever tires on your car it's your business and good luck with it.
