... weren't quite that bad. I guess my note sounds worse than I meant. We had a set of Blizzaks on an '89 900. I'm not sure if they were WS-50, because there were no LM-22 at the time. They were the predecessors at least.
We only used them in the winter, but in NE Ohio there's mostly wet & salt, occasional snow, then more piles of salt. They lasted a few years & weren't gone when we sold the car. I meant miles, not years.
Compared to our 9³, the 900 has a short wheelbase & long overhangs, a big polar moment of inertia. The Blizzaks had a real distinct lack of control for yawing motion. It's obvious compared to the summer tires but it's still true compared to the Pirelli snows that we had before.
But like I said, in snow & ice the Blizzaks were VERY good.
