	With the Guardex, they tread is composed 100% of the sticky stuff.  We''ve
run all our winter cars on blizzaks for the last 3 years or so, and they've
been great, especially on those glazed over intersections that people just
can't seem to stop,  but the corrado is getting a set of guardex tires
today, so as the snow falls, i'll give my comparison of the two.  

		Praying for snow,
