Bridgestone  Blizzak LM-32

This is my first time using a snow tire on my vehicle. So far I am so glad I purchased the blizzaks. The tires are quiet and have amazing traction in snow rain and regular cold weather. I feel very confident with them in harsh conditions as compared to when I used my all seasons in the winter these blizzaks are by far a better tire for winter mode. Tire tread seems fine even though it's the first snow season I'll have to continue to monitor the tread ware but it seems fine so far. I will use these tires for my winter driving for now on. EXCELLENT tire for a car with muscle that you do not want to put away in the winter....now I can have fun all year around.

I just purchased these December 2016 for my Audi A4, which has the sports package (19" rims). I live in SF Bay Area and drive to Tahoe every weekend to ski. These handle fantastic in the snow and ice; hitting the brakes hard in the snow/ice and there is barely any slippage (< 25 mph). I drove through some hairy conditions today in Tahoe (Jan 22, 2017) and they were amazing. In addition, they are extremely quiet, more quiet than my all weather tires by Michelin. Dry handling is awesome as well. Driving in the rain - no issues with hydroplaning or breaking traction. I have pushed the car with these tires and without a doubt, I do not have any buyers remorse whatsoever and will purchase these again.

Live in upstate NY, Catskill mountain region. Have heavy snow and frequent ice, many hills and curves. Bought package optional 18" wheels and tires (standard are 20" wheels). Tires are higher aspect than standard, how do I know? Speedometer did not need to be re-calibrated it still displayed correct speed. When inflated to recommended pressure my stability control would kick in under what I consider to be normal cornering on dry pavement. I had to run the pressure over 40psi in order to ameliorate this. Dry traction fair, wet fair, snow & ice quite good. Tread wear at over 40 degrees they just melt away. Our winter weather swings from -30 to +50 F. My main objection is to the handling and sway that kicks in the stability control. Perhaps had I stayed with the OEM 20" wheels with the lower aspect tires I would not have had this problem. Oh, why did I switch to 18"? I wanted to be able to rotate all 4 rather than just side to side. Never thought to do the same with 20".

Although this is my first set of dedicated snow tires, I'm amazed at the difference these tires provide in inclement weather living in the north. I love my MKS, but it isn't AWD and last winter fury nearly put me in the ditch several times and/or avoiding near misses with the all season Michelin's. I'm a car nut and read extensive information on thing such as tires. I had a read numerous articles/comparisons of High Perf All Season vs. dedicated snow tires. All I can say is that this are worth every expensive penny I spend on them. Truly a confident drive all around from acceleration, corning, braking and stability. Darn near mimics my AWD MKT! Fantastic product and I would highly recommend to anyone with a front-wheel drive car needing a more sure-footed driving experience. There were only a few options available in the required wheel size for the MKS, and while these tires are built for high-performance vehicles, I'm totally satisfied with my purchase and they look fantastic on the car. Blizzak's ROCK!

I have always believed that Blizzaks are the best winter tires you can get. My car feels planted and surefooted with these tires. There is no excessive ABS and traction interventions when I am driving. I am very impressed as how smooth the tires are on the highways and on the back roads. It is comfortable and still provides excellent steering feel unlike the older Bridgestone Blizzaks. It handles better then my all season Michelins. The road noise is average for winter tire. The traction in light snow is fantastic! Even in deep snow, my car can claw through the pack snow plus ice without getting stuck. Compared to Dunlop Wintersport 3D and Michelin Pilot Alpin Pa4 which are also performance oriented tires, the Blizzaks have better handling with better snow capabilities unlike the former two tires. I highly recommend these tires.

Used these tires in freak March Ice/Snow storm. Many others cars were in the ditch. Kept going even in iced-over snow on main highway. Only have RWD, but traction was awesome even on the icy roads

We just had our first snow fall of the year and I am entirely impressed with these tires. I had no trouble getting around in a few inches of snow. I even went up a very steep hill that can get slick just in wet and I kept applying power because the tires just gripped. Stopping was great and cornering gave me no problems. I was in awe. In dry, these tires do not have near the grip the stock P-Zero's have, but that is understandable. The tread block is much deeper, so when accelerating in dry, I can feel the car squirming around even when the tires aren't spinning. Again, that makes sense for the type of tires these are. I've had several front drive cars for winter driving and struggled getting around with them. We used to have a Honda Pilot and while it could accelerate in snow, turning and stopping was another (scary) story. If you have a Mustang or similar car, get these tires and drive it! They're not cheap, but cost less than an accident or buying another car to use in the winter.

This tire is actually on my wife's 2009 Cayman. It is an everyday driver for a physician - truly in ALL weather - in the northeast near Boston. I bought the tires because my usual choice for her (Dunlops) was unavailable, but I have been shocked by how nice these Bridgestones are, including how stable and predictable they are with aggressive driving in the dry. And in ice and snow they are truly excellent and just plain fun. I think that the Cayman is under-appreciated as a snow car - it really is amazing. And these tires just make it even better. Driving at speed in poor conditions on these tires the car easily surpasses the best Audi setups that I have ever driven. Deep snow on a hill on my driveway can require some strategizing with the rear wheel drive only Cayman, but as I said, it still drives every day. This tire will be my first choice for her in the future.

I researched tires for my car which previously have Potenza 970 AS. I just experienced the worst winter since 95 in Boston. My Potenza had been impotent in winter condition so I decided to replace it initially with another A/S tires. I went with Continental Extreme Contact DWS A/S which is actually good in after Snow storm condition. But me and my wife are Essential workers which meant that no Snow days for us, Blizzard or not we are required to work. The DWS failed me during one of the blizzard these past 3 weeks so I went and returned it to the tire shop. I decided to have LM-32 instead. Good reviews too. It was snowing the day I got the tires. I immediately tested it on winter conditions. I came away very impressed, at least initially. Compared to DWS, LM-32 has more of a comfortable ride. The Bumps are well absorbed. Barely noticeable delay in handling probably due to soft side wall which I think improved the comfort of the vehicles. It grips Excellently on winter roads. Snow or just frozen/cold asphalt. It is amazing. It breeds confidence. I read about the guy who travels at 70 mph, who does that in a storm? The most I do is 45 mph. Running over occasional snow on the road is effortless on this tires. Will update more as time goes by

These replaced a set of Michelin X-Ice on my BMW 5 Series AWD wagon. I purchased these on sale for a VG price, notwithstanding having read a # of reviews indicating these were more a performance oriented winter tire, and not great in deep snow. . I have to disagree on the other reviews on snow.. These are awesome in real snow. I have had them on 1 month and 3000 km. Have experienced warm dry roads, ice, slush and 4" of un-plowed snow.

This is one of the quietest snow tires I have ever had on a vehicle. They drive like a high quality all season, but yet perform well on snow and ice. I am quite pleased with my purchase.

Predictable, communicative and consistent performance in dry, wet and snow conditions all the same is exactly what these tires deliver the driver. There ha snot been a moment from the 70F and sunny afternoon to the -15F and 6" of snow with blinding storm conditions where these tires were not telling me exactly what all 4 wheels of my BMW M3 were doing. I feel confidant in driving in the snow for the first time and will keep buying these tires so long as they are made to fit the vehicles I own. There has not been a better snow tire made in years and there still is not a better tire made today.

I drove a lowered Solstice GXP through midwest winters. Do I need to say anything more? Remarkable performance for a winter tire. Wear was not excessive.

I have a Dinan Performance updated BMW which puts out around 400hp. This is a great tire for a high performance coupe or sedan. I have yet to feel uncomfortable while giving it the beans. The only thing I may be concerned with is the softness. I think this tire will give me only three seasons (15k miles). We will see.

Impressed with the performance of these snow tires on clean roads. Concerned that tires may wear out to fast, have seen rubber marks on road more often than would like to see.
