The Blizzak grip definitely degrades with increasing temperature. A very noticeable difference between 55F and 35F. They actually locked up on a moderately hard stop. Next year I will wait a bit longer before making the swap.

Speaking of lockup, I didn't hear a peep out of the ABS. Does anyone know if ABS is off with TCS off? Is it confused by the tire size difference ? (neither of these make sense to me)
