Chris, I have these tires on my winter rims and could not wait to get them off. For a snow tire, when it is -20 out, they do well in the handling department, but for anything over 50 degrees, they are horrible. Like photoman said, I drive my sports car like it was meant to be driven so I only get 10-12K out of my summer tires, but I can think of a host of reasons not to use the blizzaks in the summer. The first being, you will not get anywhere near that 30K miles, that is 30K miles of driving in winter with a winter tire, drive it in the summer and I bet you would be lucky to get 1 season out of them. Just my thoughts on the matter.
