Default Blizzak LM-25 or WS-60

Does anyone have direct experience with either of these two tires?

I'm getting mixed recommendations from different tire places. Some say that the LM-25's are the better choice for the IS350 since it's a performance tire, however a couple of tire shops are saying that for winter driving the WS-60's will perform better on snow & ice and as a side benefit will last longer.

Any input is appreciated.

The LM-25 performs great on dry pavement as well as snow. The WS-60 is a dedicated snow tire that will barely outperform the LM-25 in a snow storm. On dry road it sucks. LM-25 costs more but it's worth it imho. BTW, my experience is with LM-22 on my Audi S4 and WS-50 on Audi allroad.

It depends on you. If you want the best snow and ice traction the WS 60 has it, but if you don't mind giving some of that traction up to get dry road performance the the LM-25 are great.
