Blizzaks are overrated and overmarketed IMHO. Check out the Nokians for a decent price.
Really? I think Blizzaks are the best snow tires out there for "normal" vehicles if you're looking for the best grip. Sure, they only last 40K if you're lucky

I have Nokians on my Accord and while they're quite good, my previous Michelin Arctic Alpins did have better grip (esp. on ice). But the Nokians corner way, way better.

Our Mazda has Kumho winter tires; they're really good and cheaper than the Blizzaks (at least the last time I looked; apparently they've gone up in price recently).
