The amount of drifts I pull with the M3 is hilarious with the Xi3. I have no rear grip.

I did a quick sprint down to Seattle and back on the X-Ice Snows tonight and thought they did well in the pouring rain. From memory the Blizzaks don’t seem to perform significantly worse than the Michelins in this weather, though it’s probably a combination of larger tread depth and me not driving hard enough.

we've had a few days of heavy rain and the snowdragons meets my price point expectations.
at city speeds with standing water/puddles, no signs of hydroplaning. no slipping when accelerating on inclines from a dead stop. didnt notice a big difference in braking distance. didnt really toss it around too hard cuz at the end of the day its a very heavy suv on very cheap tires. when i have time i probably should go to a empty parking lot and learn these tires limitation rather than have it creep up on me.
at highway speeds, im not going to say there wasnt any hydroplaning but its very minimal. the occasional pull from only one side hitting puddles and very loud when doing so. luckily 95% of my commute is city.
when applying common sense, at no point did i feel unsafe.

Sounds like the name of a Chinese triad or reference to a designer drug.

My Yoko Geo G015's on my F150 have been incredibly impressive in the rain. They were really good in the snow last winter too, and bombing around on the gravel backroads for 2 weeks while I was camping on the north island in the summer.

Company recalls over 541,000 winter tires because they don’t have enough snow traction
DETROIT (AP) — A company that sells replacement winter tires is recalling more than 541,000 of them in the U.S. because they don’t have enough snow traction to meet North American standards.
Prinx Chengshan Tire North America is recalling over 100 sizes of Fortune Tormenta and Prinx Hicountry tires with three-peak mountain snowflake symbols on the sidewalls.
The company says in documents posted Tuesday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that the tires passed European tests but likely would not meet traction standards in North America.
The safety agency says tires without sufficient snow traction can increase the risk of a crash.

Are all lug nuts created equal? I have a note in my phone about getting new nuts when I swap to my winters given the old ones looking kinda shit
Should I go to Nissan for OEM or Amazon/canadian tire all the same

Should I go to Nissan for OEM or Amazon/canadian tire all the same | Simple answer is no. Do you have a different set of wheels for your winters? If yes, you "should" get the right set of nuts depending on the wheel.
On the other hand, you could get away with original nuts. I'll be Captain Obvious and state that some people care. Some people don't. It won't matter if you don't die or cause EvoFire to crash and burn on Knight Street, and if something does happen, well, YMMV.

Looking forward to seeing how the perform in the snow

Most OEM (maybe all?) are ball seats so if both sets are OEM then the lug nuts should be fine. Aftermarket tend to be cone seats.
