Not to drift* too far from the topic, but my wife misses our dear departed Fit most of all because it had a H---S--- handle right above the door, and the replacement vehicle does not.
Back on topic, I see references to Blizzaks and winter tires in general on this thread. It's important to note that Blizzaks in particular (and perhaps winter tires in general) have a few unusual features relative to all-season or summer-only tires:
- dramatically different tread block design, edge vs. center
- different rubber compounds at different tread depths
- two sets of wear bars; one to indicate when the tires are no longer fit for winter use, another to indicate total tire wear
* pun intended
