Blizzaks vs. Arctic Alpines

**2K255HP** · 09-05-2002, 07:56 PM

Winter is soon arriving and with the max going into its second snow fall season I have decided this year it will get winter tires instead of using the Re-92's

I have heard the Michelin Arctic alpines have a better design to last longer than the Bridgestone Blizzaks and both are excellent in snow/icy conditions

Ne one care to shine ne light on this topic on which ones they would choose?

If u want really good winters get Hakkapeliitta's

We had blizzakks on our windstar last year and it was awesome!

I'll probably pick up a set at the end of October

RE-92's are so fun in the snow!

alpine's are nice.. 1000 times better in the snow then stock tires, but still you have to be careful.

Never experienced Blizzaks/Alpines, but I have drove my CRX(which is somewhat low) last winter with Hankook W400's, and never got stuck, or slid.

Look into a set of Nokians if you are looking for snow or ice tires. I've got a set of studded hakka 1s on my car for winter and I just love them, simple stupid amounts of grip. The hakka Qs are excellent ice tires, the drug of choice of a lot of our local rally guys.

i have a set of nokian nrw's for winter. lots of grip

Nokian's are suspose to be very good.

I like the Pilot Alpins, they are very good. Pirelli W210 snowsports are also not bad but not as good a Pilot's IMO.

Don't get blizzaks. After you use them for a year, they become just like any other all season tire.

I have blizzaks on the mx3 and they were amazing!

My duddy had Alpines on his celica and they kicked ass too.

I guess you just have to ask yourself --> are you a blizzak or alpine kinda guy?

**Ralliart** · 09-06-2002, 08:20 AM

Nokian hakka 1's are the way to go for a good winter tire stick like mad

**2K255HP** · 09-06-2002, 04:28 PM

Tnx for all the quick responses guys

**GTS Jeff** · 09-06-2002, 11:15 PM
