+1, these may not be the best dry or wet handling snow tires out there, but that would be redundant. It does its job best, it is hands down the best snow tire out there if you want maximum traction.

i agree!..put on a set back in '05 on a mazda mx-5,and that car would climb a
f**kin' mountain!..WITHOUT dedicated snows,THAT particular car goes absolutely nowhere in the snow,because it was just too light!

I'll agree that Blizzaks are best for JUST snow. However, the Continentals I have performed great in the snow, and there may not be a huge difference between the Blizzaks and the Continental Extreme DWS.
