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.

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

I have put 2000 miles on these tires since new. I drive in an area that alternates between dry cold pavement and light and moderate snow. These tires have very good steering response for snow tires, they can be driven relatively spiritedly on dry pavement without issue. They are noticeably noisier than all season or summer tires, especially on dry smooth pavement. They hum/howl a bit especially in low speed cornering and slowing down. The traction on light snow 1-2" is very good, certainly better than an all season tire, but not as good as a more traditional snow tire. You can still slide if you try. Stopping distance on dry pavement wasn't as good as I expected.

I switched to these tires from Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3s because I got a flat that I couldn't repair and the Michelin's were not available anymore. Compared to the PA3s, these tires are noisier and seem to have slightly less traction on dry pavement, but are noticeably better in snow. The turn in is better than the PA3, however. Overall, they are more towards a traditional snow tire in their characteristics whereas the PA3 was more like an all season. The Blizzaks are better snow tires.

These tires totally transformed by car in the snow. I went from larger good quality all season tires to these narrower blizzaks and went from being nervous in all snow & ice conditions to complete confidence. Car stopped WAY better, accelerated better and cornered much better in all snow/ice conditions. Performance on dry roads was surprisingly good too. I use them only in New England winters and colder temperatures. I was impressed with the accelerating traction and cornering ability on the nicer winter days. Hard driving on dry roads will definitely wear down the treads quickly as I tore a few tread blocks off but overall what they are designed for they are excellent at.

got these in Dec of 2014 and mostly drove on dry roads however, when there was fresh snow I couldn't help but go for a spirited backroad drive. Predictable handling and traction never seems to instantly give out, even with traction control turned off. Between the tires and Quattro winter driving is mostly enjoyable and quite stress free, dry handling is a little floaty compared to PSS's but that's to be expected. Overall I'm happy and will buy again in the future until I find something I like better, should that ever happen.

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.

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.
