I wanted the Michelin X-Ice tires as I used them in the past and loved them, but apparently they were discontinued in the size I needed, so I got the Blizzak WS-70 tires instead. I am confident these are arguably the best tires you can get for ice and snow, but the knock on Blizzaks seems to be dry pavement handling and road noise. Can anyone comment?
All the winter tires will be noisy on dry pavement. It's their nature. I run the Dunlop wintersport m3. Theu do handle pretty well when dry.

I tried to get my car stuck in banks of snow and the tires just kept prevailing. Blizzak is probably the best tire in snow and ice, but you won't go wrong with any dedicated snow and ice tire. They will work no doubt!
