Does anyone have any input for selecting one of these tires for driving in Calgary? I can only read so much about one being better on clear roads, one better in snow, one not as good in slush, etc.
I have never used winter tires before (  ) but this year I need to. Any input from somone who has used either Blizzaks or Xi3s would be appreciated.

I put the Michelin Xi3's on my BMW a few years back and they were great. I am not an expert like some guys, but the tires worked perfectly in last years brutal winter and never let me down. I had the run-flat version, so commenting on how hard the tires were wouldn't really be fair.
