I need new snows this year. The Dunlop Graspics are almost toast and I didn't really like them anyways. I was probably going to get Blizzaks but if anyone has any other suggestions I should consider, please let me know. My tires now are 175/65-14 (I'm finding out 14" rims really limits what I can buy) Thanks.

I just got a set of Nokian WR from etires.com. They feel much better than Blizzaks or Arctic-Alpin on dry pavement, and are supposed to be as good as anything on snow. I didn't have any problem finding tires for
14" rims, but I went with 185/60.Grant,
I have a set of four Bridgestone Blizzaks on my '95M that I've had for
4 years. They are fantastic in the snow but not very confidence inspiring on a dry road. I have to dial my cornering speed way down from what I can do with the summer tires, more like the cornering speed of the family sedan. But they are great in snow and ice!Doug
I had four Cooper winter tires on steel wheels, they were great on ice and snow and still pretty good on dry roads. Frank Sawin
I'm using Toyo Observe GO2+ on ancient Honda steel wheels. They've got great grip on snow, ice pellets and ice cuz I tried them out in a mall parking lot last winter. They're 185/60-14.
