    The time has come to replace my winter tires (I use 195/65). Tire Rack said that Birdgestone Blizack WS90 is their best-selling and best-performing winter model, but the Michilan X-Ice Snow is also good. Thoughts?

    Can you be more specific on location?

    I like the X-Ice Snows, because they’re decent snow tires, but still nice and smooth on bare roads, which tends to be the usual with our mild, BC west coast winters. I think they edge out the Blizzaks in that category?
