Default Best or Worst Snow Tire

Alright guys winter is knocking at the door and some of you are getting your car ready for the winter. I want to know what tire you use and how it handles since this year I am driving my F-Body and need to get tires so let's post up some reviews.

I bought some Hankook (404? or 403's? I forgot) last year and they were amazing. I had a WRX with Cheap snow tires, and an Fbod with top notch snow tires, and you can see a difference.

Mine are for sale mounted and balanced perfectly on 5 star LT1 Trans Am wheels. $450 takes it all, and the tires are still like new. They are skinny 225/50/16 and cut through anything!

I've got some Blizzaks mounted on LS1 five spoke twisties newly balanced they are 215/60 R16. They are almost new since I only drive 10 miles round trip to work, and I put them on after the first snow usually mid November and take them off the first week of March. They are really great handling on the snow. My son took his F-car down south and I do not need them anymore. I won't drive my TA in the snow anyway. $500 plus shipping or I'll meet you part way.

I had a set of Blizzak WS-40's last year 215/60/16 on steel wheels. They are actually for sale now.

I am glad to hear that since I am leaning towards the Dunlop M3 on some C5 rims I just got.

245/50/16 Michelin MXV4 (i think) mounted on some 94 Z28 salad shooters. Worked out pretty decent even with the 3600 stall.

Using them again this year, this time I'm driving the 94 Z28 as well.
