Blizzak- LM25 or WS-50???
So it looks like my snow tires are coming a little earlier than i expected...hit a pothole tonight and blew a tire.
I've been reading between the LM25 and the WS-50 and still cant decide...Im thinking i might not need the WS-50's here in jersey.
Anyone have any of these...feedback on them?
I bet the LM25's would be more responsive in dry pavement than the WS-50's but is it a huge difference?
Gonna be ordering them tonight so put up any input you guys have
thanks

i had lm-22's and now i have a set of ws-50's.
i like them both as far as snow tires go. i have tested the ws-50's in the snow yet because i just got them, but they haven't been bad for general driving about. i'll have to wait till the end of the season to see if they wear faster or anything, but really i don't think you can go wrong with any set of blizzak's.

I kept them on for driving well into March IIRC, just because CHicago weather is so ****ed you never know if you might get a freak snowstorm in spring. Wear has been just fine.

Dunlop SP winter Sport 3D, great off road and tarmac handling...they are not equivalent to the Advans in the dry obviously, but for all seasons they don't have that much flex on hard cornering, but then again we should be doing a controlled sideways drift through the corners anyway come snow time LOL
ps I had LM22s when I had an 04Sti, on the snow they were incredible but in the dry at high speed cornering they flexed and gave that about to give feeling.

two really great tires, just in different ways. the LM is a sport based winter tire, so its less aggressive and handles better. but you will trade some snow/ice traction to get the better clear day handling. good tire if you live in downtown NY or a suburb where you see minimal accumulation, mainly plowed roads.
the WS is the more aggressive option. best ice/snow traction of the bunch, but a bit softer handling and a little quicker wearing. best used in heavier snow climates or rural areas where plows don't get to that often. awd and that tire... you'll be able to go anywhere.
