Like that? I thought no one had winters like you. So you have urban winters too, and all this time, you claimed you have some treacherous winters. Make up your mind.
get a life, like seriously.

Going strong, urban life.
Come to Eu and you will find out, different winter tires for different climates/markets. I Live in northern EU, i travel alot. And Stormgol definitive knows what he's talking about. I remember when i was in Berlin in 2011 in December when they had a dump of snow, traffic just stopped...total chaos
In some European countries, on some roads, the use of tyre chains is recommended and even mandatory. You can encounter traffic signs indicating mandatory tyre chains in the steep mountain regions of Austria and Switzerland, for example. In other places, simply having the tyre chains in the car will be sufficient.
wheels take the same storage space as just tyres though?
Sufficient as long as you don't cause any issues like accidents or blocking the road....
I just put Blizzak WS90s on the KIA yesterday - we live 12 mins from a ski mountain and the primary driver skis about 80 days per season both there and at other mountains. Obviously, I have no data on how they perform in the snow but I have to say surprisingly smooth during my test drive.
In most Tire test ( summer, winter, all season) that I've seen Hankook is right up there. Why is Hankook junk in your opinion?

Bcs. experience of people with their winter stuff.
Tyre Reviews on YT, guy does just about the most comprehensive tire tests that anyone can do, I suggest to anyone looking for good tires to check him out.
He basically does tire lab test, not butt test or i think this is or should be better because I would like it to be

The APA should show some actual test data (or test scores) in some graphs or charts. Providing a 3 to 5 sentence summary of the test results for each tire is not that useful. And a more detailed description of their test methodology would also be appreciated.
No. They don’t have the dual compound of blizzard WS tires
Part of his scoring is a butt test, but based on blind testing. He doesn’t know which tire he is driving on until afterwards when he compares his feelings with the tire order
This is subjective part of his test only, everything else is seconds and meters/ feet, noise Lvl in dB, etc
His test of sumer / all season / winter tires in temp below 7c was done in controlled environment.
By far the most comprehensive test, that we ( general public) have access to
The winter force has the characteristics you said are important….deep tread depth, 12/32” (9.5mm) and they are also studdable, though the tire installer has to install pin studs, not specially shaped studs like from Nokian, Gislaved, etcyou live in florida and use winter tires? just asking politely. the firestone winterforce 2 are adequate winter tires. perfect for floridanot for northern quebec. they are good for urban winter.
