I have a Miata for those days that the bugeye just can't make it for one
reason or another. I also drive it through the winter when the LBC's are
sleeping peacefully.
I've had a set of 4 Bridestone Blizzaks (mud & snow) tires on for the last
two years winter & summer with negligible wear and they are not only a
fantastic
tire for snow & slush but they are as soft as a baby's butt (really!) and
they hold on for DEAR life when you take those turns much faster than you
should. I really don't know why they're not showing wear. I realize this
approach isn't traditional, but they are a fine "go faster tyre"
