WHAT, are you crazy. The Blizaks rule in the snow, no questions. Esp the Ice. But the SUCK in the Dry. Their Grip is Ok but they wobble all over the place. I think they are the single WORST tire I have ever driven in the dry in the feel anc confidence department. Anyhow, I will never buy them again for that reason. I'd MAYBe consider their newer stuff but the originals sure were bad. IMHO. They are great in the snow though. Jsut not worth the tradeoffs for me when I can get close to as good of Ice traction and just as good of snow traction and WAY Better dry handling with Nokia's or Something. (Un studded for me) Just my opinion though l8r Todd Phenneger 1983 ur-q / black / getting a MC 1984 4000 Turbo quattro (Faster than your average 4kq) 1987 4000 quattro / Saphire Metallic Blue/ Girlfriend's 1996 A6q / Volcano / Dads Car *****1985 5kt / PARTING OUT! ----- Don't know why you are passing up Blizzaks. IMHO these are GREAT tires. Snow traction is better than Gislaveds or Michelin snows, and wet traction is very good too. I had a set on my 318i that I drove year round for about three years. I was going to change them out in the spring the first year, but they performed so well I left them on. After three years there was still plenty of snow tread left, and I'm a pretty aggressive driver. Yes, they do wash out a little when compared to high performance tires on dry pavement, but they are VERY predictable. Since the 5K is a bit heavier they might not do so well on dry roads, but they are definitely worth the money. - - Dave
