Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 

Great buy. Great tires for winter conditions. Not disappointed with wet traction.

These are definitely the tires You want working under Your vehicle every Winter! They are perfect for driving in the Wintery Mix conditions and They especially excel at gripping on wet glare ice. Freezing rain and heavy fresh snowfall is so much less stressful to drive in with these on My vehicle. I definitely plan to purchase an exact replacement set when these are worn!

I purchased a complete tire/wheel package from Tire Rack for winter use. We have a long, hilly, gravel lane that can be challenging after a heavy snowfall. I plow it, but there are still slick spots on the hills after the sun has melted a layer of snow. The stock all season Pirelli's on my Jeep Summit could not handle the snow and hills and after getting the Jeep stuck last year on one of the steep spots, I bought this snow tire package. I run these from late December to early March depending on the weather and so far they have been fantastic! I've tried them in snow as deep as 8" and they just charged through it, up and down hills with no issues.

These tires are AWESOME. Completely blew me away to be honest. Sat my X5 with summer performance tires in garage all last year, decided to get a dedicated snow tire and wheel setup this year…and it was the RIGHT choice. I drive this more than my truck currently. The traction is literally unmatched and hard to describe.

I waited years procrastinating to purchase the Bridgestone Blizzack DMV-2 tires and was blown away by the snow traction. I stopped the Maverick all wheel drive on a 11% grade with 4 to 5 inches of snow and was able to accelerate without any slippage at all. I would definitely purchase again.

Purchase was simple. I love the tires. Dry confident on them in very snowy weather so far.

The new DM-V2 flavor of Blizzak does not disappoint. These tires provided winter grip on par with an all-terrain on a dry dirt road--truly impressive and confidence-inspiring. Strong points were light snow traction and wet traction (including slush and snowmelt mud). They're not designed to excel swimming thru a foot of powder, go get mud-terrains for that. Ice & packed powder traction was very good, realistically as good as anything out there short of studs. Longitudinal traction was better than lateral which makes sense--braking is arguably the most important loading to work well in winter. A typical winter commute includes a few miles of dirt backroad (barely plowed), 15 miles of 2-lane (reasonably well-plowed, not salted), and 30 miles of highway (plowed, salted & sanded, somewhere between slush and dry). Dry traction was adequate but steering response and stability both suffer from the tread squirm produced by the generous siping that makes them good in the snow...no surprise there. Wear was very fast on dry roads during the mixed conditions in spring. Rubber smell was normal after coming home on a dry day, and tread was noticeably gummy on those days...again, no surprise and clearly optimized for cold temps. But, all tires wear out and fresh ones do better, so the wear is in line with expectation of ~3 years. Will definitely buy again.

They are amazing in wet weather and so amazing in snow and ice. I like the soft ride and I think they are the best tire in America for those reason and expectations.

Highly recommend Bridgestone Blizzaks. This is my 2nd vehicle I have purchased these for. I use these only during the winter on spare wheels, so the miles are low but mainly highway, and daily over 2 mountains on my commute to and from work. The ride is super comfortable, especially compared to the standard 21” wheels my Explorer comes with. The tires slightly are noisy, but it’s barely noticeable, don’t let that stop you from getting. They have handled the snow perfectly, from a light slick dusting, to a heavier, deeper and wet snow. I feel very confident with them on my vehicle.

Great tires!! I lose about 4 MPG running the Blizzaks, but they are well worth it. Wet, snow, ice these tires just keep going. Great traction. The one drawback is that on dry pavement if you are aggressive and overreact on the steering wheel, the car will lurch sideways very quickly. I love my blizzaks in the winter time!!

Not my first set of Blizzaks. Best winter tires I know. One problem, however expected, is comparably short life of these tires due to their soft compound. Still, highly recommend to all driving in harsh winter conditions, such as we have in Minnesota.

We are starting our second winter with these tires. Throughout the winter our roads are routinely covered in an inch or two of hard packed snow and ice (frozen crud). The tires handle these conditions very well. Overall the tires handle great in snow, slush, ice, wet, and dry roads. So far there is no noticeable tread wear.

I would gladly buy these tires again.
