Last year I bought four Blizzak LM-18's studless 175/55 R15. I put them on all four corners. So I had to put rear rims on the front. I had no problems with mounting the tires and rims on the front nor did i have any problems with driving. Handling on dry and rainy roads a breeze.
I went through three severe snow storms in the Northeast (unplowed roads and ice too) with no problems - as long as I drove sanely. However, I don't. I passed a few SUV's who were struggling and going slow. So one thing I was disappointed in regarding these tires was in cornering on deep rut snowy roads in the woods. If you take these type of curves like you do on dry pavement you will tend to slide a little. I think snow tires should handle winter roads like summer tires handle summer roads. So if your roads are curvy, have deep snow, and aren't plowed and you like to drive like you are on dry pavement then maybe there is a better tire out there for you. I'm just say'n....
Bottom line... I like the Blizzak's for winter.
