What are the best winter tires for mostly freeway driving?
I drive about 70 miles each day on the freeway, most of the time speeds are around 60-70 mph. I had a set of Blizzak WS60 for my Cooper S, but they sucked on the grooved pavement. I am guessing about 90% of my freeway drive is on grooved pavement. The WS60s would throw the car from side to side. I could put my foot on the top of the tire, push, and get the car to rock back and forth. It seems like the sidewall strength was reduced to make the tires cheaper.
They keep the freeways clear most of the time, but we do get some heavy snow, and really struggle with ice/black ice (I'm in southern Idaho).
Any recommendations?
