Which Blizzaks on Z28 wheels? I recently picked up a set of OEM silver Z28 "snowflake" wheels for the purpose of running winter tires. I've narrowed my search down to two tires, but I can't decide between them.
The two that I am considering are:
Blizzak WS60 225/55 R16
Blizzak WS70 225/60 R16
The WS60's will be closer to OEM size, but it sounds like the WS70's may be a better tire.
Anyone have experience with these tires? All input is welcomed.

You should be happy with either tire. Obviously the WS70 is the next version and should be a bit better. My only gripe about these is that the Winter tire compound is only in approximately the first 1/2 of the tread depth. After that, the compound is the same as any other all season tire. The way I see it, your paying all that money, for only half of the tire....... just my opinion. I understand that the underlying 1/2 of of the rubber compound helps provide stability so that the tires are not entirely "squiggly" feeling. I just know other brands do provide full tread depth winter compounds, without sacrificing stability. Either way, you will still be happy with either the WS60 or WS70.
