The Ecopia H/L 422 Plus is Bridgestone's environmentally conscious Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tire developed for the drivers of crossovers, light trucks and SUVs who want to maximize their vehicle's fuel economy while minimizing its impact on the environment. The Ecopia H/L 422 Plus is designed to provide optimum comfort, long life and sure-footed traction in dry, wet and wintry conditions, even light snow.
The symmetric tread pattern of the Ecopia H/L 422 Plus features closely-spaced elements and has been optimized to resist irregular wear while delivering a smooth and quiet experience. The continuous center and intermediate ribs provide solid on-center feel, along with confident dry braking. Full-depth grooves help retain wet traction over the life of the tire, and the engineered block design aids braking in wet conditions. Four wide, circumferential grooves allow water to flow through the contact patch to resist hydroplaning, and multiple lateral notches and sipes create biting edges that deliver traction in low-grip conditions.
Construction of the Ecopia H/L 422 Plus features Bridgestone's environmentally-conscious, Ecopia technology, with a focus on sustainability through the reduced use of raw materials, low rolling resistance, long tire life and a reduction in vehicles' carbon dioxide emissions. The internal construction includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon on top of a polyester casing.

...Wet traction wasn't a problem either...
I purchased these tires for the winter on my service van. They performed very well in snow and good on ice. Wet traction wasn�t a problem either. Dry traction was good too. When the tires are new and the tread is the deepest you may feel some steering issues when cornering at highway speeds but this is a soft compound winter tire and my service van is very heavy. Tread ware is just ok but that was to be expected as these are winter tires and are of a softer compound for colder weather. These tires ride very nice and are quite quiet on highway. This set only lasted for a season and a half but the service van is heavily loaded all the time and that was to be expected. I would definitely recommend this tire for anyone who wants excellent grip and braking abilities in winter conditions. I will be getting another set for this winter season as well. Don�t forget these tire must be used in all tire positions for best performance ( install in sets of 4 only).

These are my first set of of Blizzaks for my GMC 2500 HD and two sets for Acura MDX; they are an amazing winter tire. We live in the mountains of northern Vermont and experience very bad winter road conditions every morning: ice covered dirt roads with washboard and potholes that will throw you in the ditch if you're not paying attention!
Traction on glare ice is excellent, and over roads with heavy slush the tires always track; this is a heavy vehicle at 7000lbs so it takes a lot to move it off line.
Driving at highway speeds on dry pavement the tire is comfortable and supple. I used to run studded Hakkas on my trucks but the ride was always harsh and to be honest the Hakkas struggled in our wet slushy heavy snow storms; I should note our driveway has a 13% steep grade and I can go up and down from a stop on packed ice with no slippage.
Best SUV & truck snow tire available hands down!

...Tread so far is holding up with dry highway use...
Tires performed well in snow. Many trips to NH skiing and often in snow and ice. Marked improvement over the OEM tires which were surprisingly poor in the snow. Tread so far is holding up with dry highway use. Major disappointment was the inability to pair the pressure sensors with the truck. Multiple contacts to tire rack and attempts to pair them with the truck were in vain. Eventually just left the light on. Just swapped the OEMs on for the spring and the OEM sensors easily sync'd.

Did not disappoint. SIgnificantly more comfortable and quiet than expected...not quite as good as my all seasons but not bad at all. Exceptional traction and control in slush, ice and light snow. Seemed more capable than my prior Blizzak DM V2's in the snow. Great tread depth.

...They're a little louder than the all seasons and the ride is pretty good...
Recently moved to the upper peninsula of michigan and needed a better option that our stock all seasons. This fit the bill perfectly. We can hook up to our gooseneck trailer and tow with more confidence now in the winter. Keep in mind these are hard-core winter tires. On dry days above 40°F, they don't perform very well. Braking distance increases dramatically. Acceleration is decent at best. But in the snow and even on ice it's a complete turnaround. Haven't needed 4wd yet this season because of these tires. Highway manners are great. They're a little louder than the all seasons we had and the ride is pretty good. Mpg suffers maybe 1? If any. Would be these again 100%.

...I've driven only 6k on them, but haven't seen any, that's right any, tread wear...
I bought these for my F150. They are the best winter tire I've ever owned. I live in a rainy climate but frequently drive to the mountains to go skiing. These tires easily handle everything I've thrown at them. I've driven only 6k on them, but haven't seen any, that's right ANY, tread wear. If you're on the fence, buy them. You won't be disappointed.

...Driving about 5000 miles so far on the tires through deep snow, ice and, hard pack all season long in North western montana they are missing less than 1/32nds of tread, have no uneven wear or feathering...
One of the best studless snow tires with a 10 ply rating you can buy. The reviews of people upset with how quickly they wear I can guarantee are doing one of a few things. They are either towing a tong of weight/trailer in the winter on dry pavement, putting the tires on too early in the season/removing too late in the season, or using these tires in a climate that they are not needed. Driving about 5000 miles so far on the tires through deep snow, ice and, hard pack all season long in North western montana they are missing less than 1 32nds of tread, have no uneven wear or feathering. If you tow excessively, and or driving strictly on ice the studded nokian hekkapallite (definitely spelled that wrong) is a great alternative that will not wear as quick. If you want the best winter traction possible under normal cargo loads the blizzak LT is second to none.

My second set of these, first ones had about 24,000 miles on them and were not ready for another 9000 mile winter. I've had to drive these tires to FL twice and they seem just fine in the heat, but the treads are sensitive to temp. When towing these tires will last longer if you don't load them hard under acceleration. I towed my 9000 trailer in a blizzard and was never concerned about traction.
