Winter Tire Recommendations

[Zeenobit]

I'm shopping for tires in advance cause Winter Is Coming ...

So far, I have found these two:

http://tires2.costco.ca/product.aspx?ItemNo=405953&SearchID=9f54e9bc-4a2a-4812-b694-38a870b999d8 (Bridgestone-Blizzak WS80 @ $219.99)

The Bridgestones are cheaper, but I feel like the Michelins are more durable and have better warranty.

Any recommendations?

Any other good brands you guys would recommend?

I had both before. Both are excellent in the snow. IMO, just go with the Blizzaks because they are cheaper. My experience with the warranty with Michelin was not the best, but the tires are excellent.

Bridgestone is even cheaper as it has a $70 rebate on 4 tires now ... per tire, the rebate is
$17.50 OFF
per tire at checkout
on a purchase of 4 tires
Valid August 31 to October 4,2015

I bought a new set of Gloss Black Adventus 6 Replica 19x9.5 ET38, 265/35/19 LM-60 Blizzacks and Ford OEM TPMS sensors, lock nuts and nuts with hub centric rings, installed and balanced with tax in @ $2300.

I've heard good reviews on both tires, so I also agree you can go with whichever is cheaper. Just be forewarned that I've also heard from many people the Blizzaks wear down very quickly in warm weather, so make sure you swap them out as soon as is reasonable.

Canadian tire will sell the Xi3's for considerably cheaper. I suggest you get a quote from them as well.

I'd rather have a quicker wearing tire that grips the road very well than have a better wearing tire with average grip.

I've had the LM-32 before and loved them. The LM-60's should be just as good or even better as they are designed for RWD cars as explained to me.

First snow storm I'll be out crushing.

I'm looking at getting the LM-32's as well as the ratings are great, especially for a performance winter tire.
