I drive in the snow and ice 5-ish months of the year. There are no "all season" tires that I would trust on my car once the snow is flying. AWD is great, but doesn't help you stop one bit. My snows might get me stopped a bit shorter, but if that extra 10 feet is the back end of a stopped semi then I got my money's worth out of them.

I also like getting the best cornering performance I can from my car during the summer, which means I run high performance "summer tires". Last year, just for kicks, I left them on for the first snowfall. My AWD tank couldn't climb a driveway with a slight grade.
You are talking crazy like you are a tire expert or something. ;-) Imagine, Blizzaks stopping or cornering better on black ice and snow than even the best all-season tires. And, imagine, wanting such a thing.

Two things I know to be true are:

1. Blizzaks are better than all-season tires on black ice (can't be seen) and snow.
2. If a man equates being wrong with being a failure or a loser and that man fears being a failure or a loser then that man will argue with anyone that does anything different than he does.
