Want to draw on everyone's experience on winter tires.
Which of the following tires is the best one to go with for the winter?

Blizzak WS-50 Q rated (not to exceed 99mph)
Blizzak LM-22 H or V rated (130 for H and 149 for V)
Dunlop M3 H or V rated (130 for H and 149 for V)

Do lower speed rated tires, specifically the WS-50 wear out faster because of the softer compound? I have heard that the WS-50 is awesome in the snow and ice but not that great in term of dry condition driving. I am in Philadelphia, so it only snows like 10 times in the winter. Need good handling in dry condition. and definitely don't want to smoke these tires when I drive hard in dry condition.

I am leaning toward the Dunlop M3s because of the rave reviews on tirerack. It has higher rating than the LM-22s.

And how do I turn off the tire pressure monitoring system after I remove the stock wheels?

Please post your two cents. thanks in advance.

 

The Ws-50 Blizzaks are great (thats what I run), but if you get snow only 10 times a year and you are an aggressive driver definitely go with the performance snows, the M3 or the LM22 tires. The WS-50 tires will wear out too fast.

Don't worry about the TPS light coming on, it only comes on once in a while when driving long distances, and resets when you turn the car off. Most people do not worry about it. My light only came on a few times last winter.
