Any idea how winter performance tires differ from regular winter tires? I have some PA4 tires and am slightly worried about wear with all these warm days we've had. I went with PA4's instead of LM60's because I heard Blizzak's wear out twice as fast - according to the tire guy at costco (I know not a great source).

Performance winters generally are firmer compound have firmer sidewalls and have a higher speed rating. Not as good in deep snow/ice .
There is a "wear code" on the side of the tire which gives you an idea of life expectancy. Not sure I'd go to /take advice from Costco for anything for my car. I gather Blizzaks are among the best tires available.
