WS-50 vs. WS-60?

I don't see a Blizzak WS-50 listed in 205/55-16 for the A4 sport wheel. I do see that size in a WS-60. What is the difference between the two? Is the 60 as sticky?

ws-60 will be slightly better on the ice, but slightly worse in deep snow than ws-50.

The WS-50's were great...

I have them on an 850T Volvo which just sucked on snow. With those tires, it acts like a different car on snow and ice. I'd get the 50's if they came in 205/55. TR says the 60 is an evolution of the 50, so maybe they're great..?

yes, you will certainly like the WS-60 if you liked the WS-50...

The 60 will be better in every aspect (like all those that you listed in the above post) then the 50, with the SMALL exception of deep snow performance as the tread blocks are a little closer spaced.
