Winter/Snow Tires -C70 Cpe C70

I have a 2002 C70 Coupe and got myself a set of 15" rims for my Bridgestone Blizack WS-50's. I believe they are P165/65 R15, from TireRack.com. These tires are night and day compared to the origingal equipment Michelin. The car is great in the snow/slush, just don't expect too much from them on dry pavement ... you loose alot of the high speed cornering from the summer tires.

I live in NJ where we get a fair amount of snow. I wouldn't even think of driving my car in the winter without the Blizacks. Keep the summer tires for warm weather and get a dedicated set of snow tires for the winter, don't waste your time with all-season.

my 2 cents.

Nokian WR if you see snow only occasionally, or one of their "real" winter tires otherwise.

Gislaved Nordfrost tires are what you should find at the dealer. I use them on an 850 and V70 AWD. The work on whatever Vermont winters dish out.
