I've had Nokian WR G2s and Blizzak LM-60s.

The LM-60s take the cake, hands down. More predictable in hard cornering, better traction on ice/frozen slush, and less noise on dry roads. I would also give the edge to the LM-60s in terms of ultimate deep snow traction, although that's a closer call.

How did you find the Blizzaks for tread wear vs the Nokian? That is the main reason I went with Nokian over Blizzak. We get frequent switches between deep snow and dry pavement, both time wise and also from one location to another.

I am in Vancouver too, and I won't put them on yet. We are still getting some days at 15 C. Wait until it is down under 7 C, otherwise you will wear the soft compound winter tires excessively. Unless you are heading over the Coquihalla, which has had the first snow of the season.

Apples & Oranges comparison here.

LM-60 is a snow tire and the Nokian WR G2s are an all season. A better comparison would have been with the Nokian Hakkapelitta.
