I have a couple of quick questions for anyone with all season tire experience. I found a set of Lemans All Season HR performance tires, how would these hold up in a chicago winter? What are your opinions about getting all of the tires the same size instead of having different front and rears? The set of tires and wheels would strictly be used in the winter months and would be taken off as soon as the weather starts to change. I live in the suburbs and streets are plowed within a few hours and the tires would see some highway use so I figured all season might be the better way to go because the strictly snow tire would wear down relatively fast. If anybody could give me their thoughts opinions I'd greatly appreicate it.

I see a lot of people talking about Bridgestone Blizzaks and I think if you did a search on that on our website you would find some help.

I live relatively close to you (Minneapolis) and we get similar weather. All-season tires may get the job done most of the time, but there will be several days where they just won't cut it.
The thing I always tell my friends it that the right tires are worth the extra money. Dedicated snow/winter tires may prevent you from sliding into an accident. This will save you in the long run versus insureance and repair costs.
