exactly smitty50. It also proves my point that it takes more time to make those stupid search posts than it would to give the actual answer. If you think it is a duplicate thread then just dont answer. Dont be a dumb piece of **** about it and post all your little search results. That long post probably took atleast five minutes for your pea sized brain to think up so... Again... Get a life. You spend your whole life on these little forums telling people to search when you could be productive. Yes. I dont have the money to buy seperate sets of tires and rims... This does not mean that i cant own a performance car like a g35. I am 17 and work at a grocery store... Next year i will be attending a six year md/ba program. So dont sit on the internet and try to tell me im stupid and ignorant for not using your stupid search feature. Just keep your bull**** to yourself if you dont like what i post... GTFO

i just picked up LM-60's Bridgestone Blizzaks. Heard excellent reviews on them. I was in my car driving slow and this american car rolls his window down and says "buy an american car". i just laughed it off. First day it started snowing down here in maryland. Looking forward to switching to winter tires.

I run Blizzak LM-22s on OEM 17s on my coupe, having been doing so for the past 2 winters, this is the third year on my first set. LM22s are a performance winter tire...good in mild-moderate conditions (Midwest winters). Only ok in the heavy stuff...buy studless ice/snow if you live somewhere with a ton of snow/ice (snowbelt or up North)
YES x 1000000000. I got my mother to finally replace her Michelin A/S tires and got her some new Conti Extremes for winter as she barely drives her 03 G sedan because the A/S weren't grippy enough. Anyways tires came in last Friday, stopped off at home and stole her car for the trip to Philly to test out the new tires.
I was blown away on the drive back to Columbus last night. Philly was cold but clear, but once I got up into the mountains on I76, things got bad. Near whiteout with patchy accumulation and random uneven spots of clear road usually on the right or the left of a lane. Tricky conditions to drive in during the day on a regular road, much less night time on a curvy mountain.
The new Conti's blew my Blizzaks out of the water. I didn't slip ONCE in the 8+hour drive...I probably would not have made it on her old A/S or atleast it would have taken me double the time. I was driving essentially 40-50mph safely with no loss of traction and no unexpected slides. They just cut right through any snow and made it almost seem like it was dry road. Even when my right tires were in snow and my lefts were on road, the car handled just fine, something that my Blizzaks don't do for me to be honest.
Truly astounding tires, I would recommend them to anyone looking to drive their G or any other RWD car in the winter with no issues.
*caveat being that you still have to be a good driver, no tire or traction control system will make up for stupidity or a lack of experience.

Glad to hear the Contis are working well on your mom's sedan! I love them on my car. It is honestly night and day and the car feels as if the roads are dry and like summer time. I can throw my car sideways doing 60mph, and with the tires and VDC system, it always goes straight again. The car barelly lets go with VDC OFF. It is just incredible. My dad was all "Those snow tires aren't even going to make a difference. But what do I know." Now that they are on the car, and it blows every car in our driveway out of the water in the snow, he is all "Maybe we should pick up a set for the Altima" and I'm all "Well what do i know!"
Problem now is that I know how much better the Contis are then my Blizzaks and I wants them.
Then again, this is hopefully the last winter my G will see so maybe Conti's for whatever car I buy for winter I guess.
