Bridgestone  Blizzak DM-V2

Love these tires. I have been using the BLIZZAK snow tires for years and never have been disappointed. They have great traction on wet roads, snow and icy conditions. They also ride very comfortably on dry roads as well. Would highly recommend these tires for winter driving.

These tires actually save a little bit of money, I can drive around in 2wd much better than the touring tires that these replace, better MPG. I put it in all wheel, and it goes anywhere. The BIG difference is in stopping distance. The ABS worked overtime with the factory touring tires, Blizzaks stop, corner, almost, like it's dry. I've run Blizzaks before, so I know, put them on late and take them off early. If you run them hot, they will disapear. #1 winter tire in my opinion. I downsized to 18" from the factory 20" to get more sidwall for pothole season.

Always a pleasure working with Tire Rack

Fair price. Prompt shipping. Excellent winter traction.

Tires seem to work pretty well on wet/snowy conditions. Ice is a different story but you cant expect much from a studless. Worth the price and would purchase again if its mainly snow that its being used for. Tire rack made the shipping and delivery streamlined with no issues.

Excellent winter performance (as expected), but pleasantly surprised with dry performance. Our summer tires are on 20” rims and the the 17” Blizzaks are more responsive and handle better than expected. Noise level is also good.

They're Blizzaks, nothing more needs to be said! The tires are unbelievable in the snow, and handle pretty good in the dry too. Blizzaks and AWD are the perfect "go anywhere" combination. There is a little bit of tire noise with the blocky tread pattern, but it's not that bad. The superior snow performance out weights the minor drawbacks.

I 'm impressed with these tires. The OEM tires on this car are 19" low rolling resistance tires (a low bar for comparison I know). I had the Blizzaks mounted on 17" rims and find that they ride about the same as the OEM tires. There is some tire noise, but less than other winter tires I have owned. There seems to be a small mpg penalty vs the OEM tires, but not a lot.

I commute daily over back roads that are frequently covered with a mixture of ice, snow & slush without any problems. Because the Toyota Venza (a hybrid that is basically a front-wheel drive car with electrically driven rear wheels that may or may not be applying power at any given time) my first purchase after buying the car last November was the winter tire package. Going from 2-wheel to 4-wheel drive & back (which seems to happen often) is so seamless as to be undetectable. I'm glad I bought these because the increased traction they provide has taken a lot of stress out of my daily commute.

Good looking tire, quality construction. Rides comfortably

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.

An excellent New England winter tire mounted on my winter wheels. However I was also pleasantly surprised at the highway stability and excellent tread wear including a drive and 3 month winter vacation in Florida. Still have reasonable tread left. I would definitely purchase again as a winter tire or the only set if concentrating on winter capability.

I bought these tires in November for Colorado winters on the plains and in mountains. I had Blizzaks a dozen years ago (WS 60’s) and they had good snow traction but the treads tended to sort of fold on corners and were unsteady. After reading reviews on these I decided to come back to Blizzaks for my Tucson. I drove these in dry, deep snow (over a foot), slush, some ice and recently heavy Spring rainstorms. I will say that Blizzak has totally upped their game. Top things that come to mind:
1. Super soft ride, can take potholes but like getting a new suspension. You won’t wreck your rims in a pothole with these.
2. Snow traction is the best I have seen and I’ve driven several different snow tires. I took them and brake tested and acceleration tested them in heavy and light snow and on frozen surfaces in parking lots at a local state park, lol. They were great.
3. Tread wear seems to be zero. Very surprising. I expect them to last awhile. I don’t have measurements, though.
4. They hold up much better on cornering than the old Blizzaks. That’s a key improvement.

I don’t drive my Tucson like my German cars but my opinion is that if I was driving a sports car I’d go to the performance winter tires like Pirelli and Michelin with a little shorter tread. For these normal duty, soccer mom, commuter and even camping-SUV type vehicles I now prefer these Blizzaks.
5. They had great performance in the rain and I would rate them higher than the Michelin X-Ice’s as I had those plane in heavy rain. I will even add that my son in China bought these for his Hyundai and he loves them, too. He had Yokohama’s and prefers these.

No treadwear warranty for a reason. 20k on these tires and 3/32" left down the center of the tires. Pretty much not happy about this. I drive these from Houston to ski near Denver. They have seen snow four trips. So about half of the miles on them are on snow and ice. The other half on Houston roads. I do not heavily accelerate or brake. Glad I had them in Colorado. Kept my RWD truck on the road.
