Which blizzaks? These WS80s are supposed to be superior to the X-ice in pretty much everything except wear and road noise. That said, mine are whisper quiet except above 70 mph where they have a small hum.
running less air makes the contact patch bigger. Thats the opposite of what you want to do with winter tires. The narrow is better. Wider rides on top of the snow and digs in less.
I was looking at getting some of those nokians but found a crazy good deal on the blizzaks. I'm very happy with them so far, even knowing the nokians are better.
Dont misunderstand me, blizzacks are a good tire. The r2s are very pricey and not worth it to some. I was just throwing it out there for those that are unhappy.
Not to start a argument with you or anyone. I have a few friends have been in the tire world for a long time. One has been been district manager for 20years. They say that less is better but that you shouldn't run your tires above the manufacturers recommendations which is 32 psi on cold tires. This is suppose to be the max that you run in a tire. You don't want to drive around with hockey pucks as tires.
I didnt say to overfill. Your post suggested you removed 5lbs from your tire. Which isnt good for winter traction, which is underfilling. Unless i misunderstood your post.
Gotcha. :cheers:
