This is the tread of my latest winter tires - namely the Pirellis winter sottozero . Note the none symetrical tread pattern. Winter tires reduce my insurance rates.Less spinning out on corners when I hit the gas. Way better than the symetrical Blizzaks.

Won't be putting on the Michelin pilot sport a/s until late April. They were not that good in snow/ice last fall. Feel better with snow tires on.....be warned!

For good reason. I don't think my car has been that clean since I bought it.

"Better than Blizzacks"... that's saying something because they're excellent tires.

Let me qualify that.
My new pirelli snow tires are better than my old Blizzaks(6 yo hockey pucks?). Whether the new Blizzaks have the non symetrical tread I don't know.
Cheers, Guy.
