Blizzak WS-50s Were great on the jetta in the snow. In the wet and the dry on the other hand, a little scary at times. Dunlop Wintersport M2s Use them on the WRX and have not had a problem, but the wrx has the AWD advantage. Not as good as the Blizzaks in the snow or ice, but much much better in the wet and dry. ---

I’ve run two different versions of Semperits that were purchased from Discount Tire Direct. One set was the “Direction Grip”, the other is the “Sport Grip”. Both were excellent in the snow, but the Sport Grip is a bit better in the dry and wet. I think they were around $50 a tire in 205/60 R15. The Direction Grips lasted me two years, and the Sport Grips still look very good after one winter, even though I left them on very late into the spring this year. Unfortunately, I don’t see Semperit tires listed at DTD anymore. ---

I had Blizzaks LM-22s on my WRX last winter, things were simply amazing, paired with the AWD it was pretty much unstoppable. Most of the time it felt like driving around on wet pavement, not snowy icy junk. Took them off and put the all seasons back on, caught a late snow storm this spring and could immediately tell the difference! I will be getting them again for the GP for sure :tup: ---

Nokian are the best snow tires that ever were or ever will be. A lot of rally guys I know swear by Nokian and hate on Blizzaks. For cheap and effective I’m with Brett about the semperits. I had the sport grip on my dsm a couple years ago and they were GREAT similar tread pattern to the Nokian Hakka’s and they were pretty unstopable ( don’t know if that’s spelled right, get off my ass) and I did some pretty crazy shit in them. Ask howie it was the first time he’d ever seen AWD drifting 🙂 and I drove them all year cause I couldn’t afford other tires. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/snow-tires/1117.md?page=2)
