My last comparison is between the Bridgestone Blizzak WS60 and the General Altimax Arctic.
Tire Rack's customer ratings says that the Altimax are equal or better than the Blizzaks in every aspect except just slightly worse on ice.
What do you guys think?
Which one should I get?

P.S. I'm driving a 09 IS250 AWD (Canadian model) and I'm not changing the rims because of the TPM's so I'm gettin tires of size 225/45R17

Thanks y'all!

They can't be compared directly because they are different types of tires. The WS60 are studless and the Altimax are meant to be studded. That said the Blizzaks are better in every category except for ice traction when you compare the Altimax studded side by side. And even then they are so close, IMO it isn't really worth it to get studded winter tires anymore.

I think studding is illegal in Toronto..not sure

anyways, tirerack's test results on non-studded ones are just about the same as the WS60, and even the customer ratings on both are about the same... So right now I think I'm just more worried about quality and long-term tread wear.. heardthe WS60 are really bad after 50%
