That is just about the same result as last year, so if tire manufactured during 2014, you could buy that if discount.

Wonder why they did not test the Bridgestone BLIZZAK WS80? In TireRack's test, when they put it head to head with the Michelin X-ice XI3, it came out ahead, and I believe I read a similar result in another review of them. That is why I got the Bridgestones.
Plus, as a bonus, the Bridgestones come with 12/32" tread depth, whereas the Michelins are a regular 10.5/32", so you'll get more mileage out of the Bridgestones.
Oh, and they're cheaper too!
