I have not had Blizzaks on my Crossfire, but have put them on many company cars and they grip well. (I manage a fleet of 750 vehicles) They are a little soft on the handling side and wear more quickly than other snows but they are among the best for snow and ice. As for your fronts I would us a good all season tire, the Goodyear F1's, Michelin Piolot or the Yokohama Advan S.4.'s. All I can say about all the tire chain talk is that most people are better off not using them. You need to ensure they are properly located, tensioned and don't stretch during use or you'll be painting your precious baby in the spring.

Just my opinion.......
