We got Bridgestone Weatherpeaks instead. Not a full snow tire like the Blizzaks, but good snow performance for an all seasons set of tires.
Just get Blizzaks, by far the best bang for your buck winter tire, they will need to be swapped for your regular tires every year, but they are awesome in anything this state will throw at you. I have used them for years through several iterations on multiple vehicles.
Had them for about 5k km. I liked it. Very good traction on dry n rain. Very quiet.
I've run everything from the cheapest of cheap to high-end and can tell you there is a difference in performance. I drive a lot, so i now by all weather tires (Bridgestone currently) that are 4 season (incl snow rated).
I bought Hankook I*cept 3 winters and they were cheaper than some others in my size, still expensive but rated way higher than the rest. God damn they’re incredible. My 340i X-drive only slips when I want it to, even here in Alberta, Canada where we get loads of black ice and also tons of slushy days.
I actually like the Hankook ion as so far, quiet 10% more range, and comfortable vs Conti and seem to handle well.
I tracked my 95 Miata with original, stock, 26yr old suspension with 200tw hankooks and endurance racing pads, roll bar and 6 pt harnesses was all I ran for the longest, and keep up with faster cars in intermediate/ occasionally advanced in my 95hp, 2750lb car
I got a great deal on Bridgestone Weatherpeak at Costco. I felt very confident driving them in torrential rains last week.
One review says it's quiet, but the other review says it's loud:
My 2019 GLI came with the Hankook Kinergy GT. On paper it is considered a premium touring tire, but it is not very good. It is mostly dry where I live, but those things break loose at the slightest provocation - cornering, accelerating, etc. I don't know what they are like in the wet; from what I have read, they are not very good.
