Winter Tire Opinions Wanted (yes...I searched first!!!)

[BradC]

Hey all,
Its that time of year, well a little late but oh well. I wanted some opinions on two winter tires I found. For the last two winters I had Michelin Arctic Alpins on my old Neon, but I cannont find those anymore.
So what does anyone think about these?
They are both a 195/55/15.
Bridgestone Blizzaks (WS-50) -OR-
Pirelli Winter 210 SnowSports

These would be mounted on 15" steelies. Last question, 15" steelies listed at the TireRack for a P5 will fit, correct?

Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks a bunch guys!

Well i got the blizzaks and they rock in the cold. The P5 15 steelies will work.

The blizzaks are awesome. but they are also my first expierence with a snow/ice tire. my other cars always had all seasons on em.

I bought the recommended tire package 16" steelies from tire rack. they rub on the fenders when going over bumps. as there is nill wheel gap. i plan on calling today to see what my options are.

I got blizzaks on 15 steelies from someone here on the board. Pretty good so far.

nothin but nokian :) hakkapellitas Q's i have. they got me up my driveway yesterday with only a little slipping which is uphill and it still had a solid 6" of snow on it. they're sized 195-65-15, which is the right size to keep with stock according to the cop who pulled me over friday. my speedo said 80, and he let me know i was doing 80

205/60/15 should work best.

Damnit...I have the same size tires and thought my speedo was off because of them and was going to get it checked out. but I guess I do not need to and that it was all in my imagination that I thought I was going slower than 79 in a 55.

yea, the cop who got me on radar agreed with my speedo, so i guess it's right

as an update to my previous post, the noise i heard was the cold bushings that i've read about in a few other posts.
