Default Blizzak LM-32 or Michelin X-Ice Xi3??

I just placed a purchase on tire rack for blizzak lm-60 and five minutes later a guy calls me from tire rack saying that they are discontinued and the only available ones they have are in nevada. That shipping is going to be way to expensive. So he recommened me this two tires. I told him to let me do some research on them and that I will call him tomorrow.

I tried searching but haven't found much info on these two tires, can anybody help me out or if you guys found a thread that I've might have missed would help too!

Thanks.

Anything will be better than an all-season. Go with whatever is cheapest and will fit safely.

That's true, both of them are winter tires just blizzak's are performance and michelin are more snow and ice (ithink) also the blizzak's are like 40 bucks more per tire.

I have used Blizzaks on all my previous vehicles and also now the 370Z. Have X-ice on a Volvo V50 for the last 3 winters as well. I have to say I have much more confident when I am in my RWD vehicles with the Blizzaks on ice and snow then the FWD Volvo on X-ice. I am in Michigan btw.

Thanks for the info guys, but I actually went and order Michelin instead, I know the blizzaks are more performance oriented tires and I don't think I will be driving my z when its really bad outside but if I do I want the most grip possible, I will write a review once I put them on.
