pretty sure i came across an artilcle in regards to the blizzacks, saying that when new they are awesome, but that the way the tire is designed, the rubber outer layer is soft and then when it wears some, the rubber gets hard and is no good after half the tread is gone. Whereas, other snow tires, the tread is still soft with half wear or less. So, blizzacks once wore down slightly, are a hard rubber and not so good whereas, other brands when worn down still stay soft and work great still.
I put nokians on my legacy and will report back.
