Guardex DS-1 vs Blizzak LM22
I used the previous model Guardex on my A4 2.8QM.Very satisfied.I'm now ready to replace them and am looking at these two models.Any comments?
I live in rural Canada and drive snow and ice all the time but dry road noise,wear and handling are also important.

Blizzak LM22
I have a set of the LM22 mounted and ready for winter but these are pretty new and I havent seen any of the usual "reviews" by magazines or the TireRack crew yet.
I bought them on the strength of our experience in bad weather with the original Blizzak on my wifes GSX. Of course the original tires werent long wearing or crisp handling on dry roads, but the impression I have is the LM22 was developed to improve these areas.

Re: Guardex DS-1 vs Blizzak LM22
What do you mean by "Guardex DS-1" and "previous model Guardex"?
Guardex is a Yokohama tire (and very good one, I've been happy
with the Yoko Guardex 600). AFAIK, there isn't a DS-1 model Guardex;
there is, though, a DS-1 *Graspic*, which is a Dunlop tire. Is that
what you mean, and if so, what's the previous model?

Correction -Re: Guardex DS-1 vs Blizzak LM22
You caught me! I meant Dunlop Graspic DS-1.It is a new variation on last years Graspic.New compound new tread pattern.I also had Yoko.Guardex on my Outback and they were very good tires.

Sugget you call Edddie over in the tire forum
Lot's of people I respect are running the new Blizzak LM22s.
I am running the Dunlop Wintersports - I believe they are a great ice tire. Not a lot of experience with snow (mild winter last year in CO) but think they could be better.
