Thanks Rick.

I bought her 4 new Blizzaks last year for her old Subaru, but I have no personal experience with them.

I live in NY State also and just bought 4 studded tires to run on a heavy RWD car.

I thought on a FWD car you could get away with running just a set of 2 studded or non-studded snows, but I see your point.

I'll make up the difference if need be if she also believes in going the 4 studded tire route. Last year I read how good the new Blizzaks are in snow, but because of black ice, I've always thought studded snows are the ultimate for stopping power.
