Blizzak WS70 Replaced by Blizzak VRX ?

Well that makes sense to me now. I had a totally different experience, but if I had a similar one I would likely feel inclined to bypass blizzack multicell type winter tires.

The non-multicell winter tires I've experienced since, such as the Hakka R's, Altimax Arctics or Blizzak LM-25's, have shown much more predictability in performance as they have worn since they're similar compound throughout.

The other advantage to this is that there is MUCH more choice in that higher sidewall profile size.

I am thinking of doing the same the next time I buy winter tires.
Do you put these on the OEM/factory 'snowflake' 16x8s, or something else??

Once my Winter tires get worn down a good bit I just leave them on into the Summer. Yes they wear quicker but may as well wear them down. They may not be good for winter snow, but fine for Summer.
