The Blizzak DM-V2 is Bridgestone's Light Truck/SUV Studless Ice & Snow winter tire developed for the drivers of pickup, crossover and sport utility vehicles looking for enhanced grip in slush, snow and on ice. Designed with a focus on ice traction and braking, as well as wet road handling and hydroplaning resistance, the Blizzak DM-V2 offers wintertime driving competence.
Blizzak DM-V2 tires use Bridgestone's adaptive NanoPro Tech Multicell compound that features a water-loving hydrophilic coating and microscopic bite particles. The Multicell compound remains flexible in below-freezing conditions, wicks water off packed snow and ice while the bite particles deliver more grip and improve braking on glare ice. This compound is molded into a directional tread design featuring 15% more aggressive block edges (than the Blizzak DM-V1 it replaces) where wide lateral and circumferential grooves help channel water, slush and snow away from the contact area for added traction while 3D zigzag sipes increase the number of snow biting edges.
The Blizzak DM-V2 radial meets the industry's severe snow service requirements and is branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.
NOTE: The first 55% of the Blizzak DM-V2's tread depth features the NanoPro Tech Multicell Compound while the remaining 45% features a standard winter tire compound. When the Blizzak DM-V2 is approximately 50 percent worn, a depth indicator molded into the tread design lets the driver know that the remaining tread is reaching the end of its ability to provide beneficial snow traction.
Install Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 tires in sets of four only.
Due to the revolutionary traction capabilities of the Blizzak, Bridgestone recommends using them only in sets of four to provide the best handling characteristics and tire performance.
El neumático radial Blizzak DM-V2 cumple con los requisitos de la industria relacionados a condiciones severa de nieve y posee el sÃmbolo montaña/copo de nieve (mountain/snowflake).

Cuando el Blizzak DM-V2 alcanza un 50% de desgaste, unos indicadores de profundidad moldeados en la banda de rodamiento, anuncian que el neumático se acerca al final de proporcionar buena tracción sobre nieve.

Debido a la capacidad de tracción revolucionarÃa del Blizzak, Bridgestone recomienda utilizarlos en grupo de cuatro para obtener las mejores caracterÃsticas de maniobrabilidad y rendimiento que se pueda obtener.

4th set of blizzaks on 4th car. In NE Vt we have had everything from 2 ft of snowfall to todays driving rain traveling through puddles, slush and over icy back roads and cruising over 20 miles of highway. They are just awesome. Good grip everywhere, quiet, all the good stuff. Will buy again, only tires as good are Hakkapolittas. Highly recommend. They do have a slightly bland feeling for daily driving but the grip in bad weather makes them totally worth it.

On my second set of dmv2 on two different Jeeps over the years and I'm still impressed after many trips on the highway in wet, dry, blizzards, glare ice, snow wheeling... Great traction.
On my second set of dmv2 on two different Jeeps over the years and I’m still impressed after many trips on the highway in wet, dry, blizzards, glare ice, snow wheeling. Just take them off in the spring and you could get 3 winters out of these. Great traction.

The tire is excellent in rain, and in any sane amount of snow, yet they are smooth and stable at reasonably high speed (80 or 85) on dry roads as well. There is a touch of softness that I would expect on any snow tire, and that's reflected in turning etc., but for a snow tire it's great!...
The tire is excellent in rain, and in any sane amount of snow, yet they are smooth and stable at reasonably high speed (80 or 85) on dry roads as well. There is a touch of "softness" that I would expect on any snow tire, and that's reflected in turning etc., but for a snow tire it's great! I have Hakkapeliittas for another car, and while they may be the best for snow and ice, that's all they're good for. Otherwise, they are loud, and "lumpy" at high speeds. The Bridgestones are good all the time.

...They also ride very comfortably on dry roads as well...
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.

...The BIG difference is in stopping distance. The ABS worked overtime with the factory touring tires, Blizzaks stop, corner, almost, like it's dry...
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 use Blizak for 6 months of year. Trips to ski slopes from western PA to NH.
I put a couple of pounds extra air to keep sidewalls firm for turnpike driving.
Good confident road feel wet or dry.

...They finally needed repurchasing in January 2023(due to tread wear). After 35,000 miles, 5 years of driving, and an enormous amount of confidence in bad weather driving situations, I can assure you they are worth the investment.
