I use Blizzaks in the dead of winter so I don't require great snow performance. Wet is what concerns me most.

i'm having some Conti DWS's installed tomorrow on the EVO, as the original Advan slicks are burned off. i'll post a review soon, but from what i've read they are quiet, great in the rain/light snow, wear very good, and give reasonable performance (they are a "Ultra High Performance All-Season" tire). not too expensive, either. i'm also concerned about wet handling, because we seem to get more rain than Seattle around here in the past few years.

Blizzaks will go on in the next month or so.
