Blizzaks were the only tire that would keep my 62 Buick Special wagon on the road in the snow... Nokia Hakkepellitta(sp?) are almost as good but not quite as soft.

My experience with generals is that they were terrible in snow, in all sizes. Continentals have been adequate, but 123s and 126s still need a couple of sandbags in the trunk. Farstone snows on a 123 work well, and blizzaks are great. Dwight Giles wrote: In winter I run General Arctics on all 4 corners of 90 300D. Agressive tread, wear well but horribly noisy on bare road.
