Bridgestone  Blizzak WS90

Switched to this style of Blizzak from DM-V2 and find I prefer these. Quieter, better handling and improved tread life. I'm a huge Blizzak fan and run them year around because of their excellent wet road performance, especially slippery roads from summer rains.

Phenomenal snow tire with good manners and good wear resistance outside of winter conditions. This tire pulls through snow better than any other tire I’ve ever driven. The tread is also truly exceptional at evacuating slush and deep water, tracking straight in slushy conditions and is very hydroplane resistant in heavy rain. Ice traction is solid and confidence inspiring, but I would say the Michelin X-ice III narrowly edges it out in ice and smooth pack snow conditions. It grips adequately in the dry, but is not a sport tire. What makes it a great snow tire results in a fairly delayed response to steering input, but if you steer anticipating that, it will carve through the back roads just fine at reasonable pace. I drive very spiritedly, and even with routinely strong acceleration/braking/cornering, the tread has held up well and shows hardly any wear after a winter season. I occasionally run up and down off road logging trails and they are excellent for light off roading as well. Combined with the AWD of my CRV, it feels like it can go anywhere, rain, snow, dirt, mud, up or down fairly steep mountain roads on these tires. This tire is also a favorite in SCCA rallycross racing classes requiring a DOT tire. This was actually my initial experience with the tire on a FWD Hyundai and it is excellent at that job as well…held up really well for what is essentially off road autocross racing. This is the definitive winter tire in my opinion. Just but it. You won’t be disappointed.

For a first set of winter tires, these were the perfect choice. Fit on my factory wheels without issue. Road noise is noticeable, but it is no different if you've ever driven an off-road tire before. Honestly, the "hum" isn't bad at all. Grip in wet conditions [rain, slush, snow, etc.] is predictable and controllable... I never felt that the tires could not handle the situation I was in. I unfortunately had to run these tires in warmer conditions for a few weeks since the seasons couldn't make up their mind; however, despite operating in temperatures out of range, they held up just fine and did not suffer any adverse affects.

10/10 recommend!

This is the 2nd set of blizzak tire I have owned and living in northern new York I would rather have these tires and know I am safe in the winter. Highly recommend

These tires are awesome! I will definitely buy another set for next winter. I have an 02 echo so it’s pretty light. We just got our first taste of winter in Ohio. I work for the DOT so I don’t have a choice but to go to work. The drifts were pretty high but I made it thru. Snow acceleration is really good on ice and stopping is even better. Overall when I pass 4 wheel drive trucks on the way to work makes you feel more confident driving buy this tire!!

This tire is hands down the best tire for snow and Ice.

These tires are nearly unstoppable in the snow. I previously had the Blizzak WS80's for about 4 years and loved those, so I bought these as a replacement in late 2023. After 2 winters in New England, I have yet to actually get stuck. I don't even need to shovel out my car because it can drive out of snow banks taller than its ground clearance. The only times I've felt uncertain of my traction were during a couple rain-snow-mix storms where the roads were ultra-slick. During dry conditions, they feel like normal tires, although some road noise is noticeable. It's more than worth it though for feeling safe driving through nor'easters.

Handling of the WS90 in 215/60 R16 is a little less squirmy than the WS80 they replaced. Steering is also slightly tighter. The WS90 handling on a Subaru size 225/50/18 is even better. Haven't driven them that far yest but they seem good on dry pavement and in the rain. Much improved over the Q rated WS70 or whatever they called them in 2004 when I bought my first Blizzak. They do whine a little kind of like a 70's Michelin tire but these are always a little noisier when new.

Excellent snow/ice tires. Low noise level, Comfortable ride.

First things I noticed are these grip very well in the dry and light snowpack. Noticeable difference compared to Michelin X-ices. Once we get some deeper snow and ice I'll see how they do, but I expect they will be good in those conditions too. They do ride very comfortably compared to the Michelin as well, but have reduced turn in response.

Purchased this set of winter tires for my Cadillac CT4 V-Blackwing. There were limited snow tires available but I wanted to give these Blizzak WS90's a chance, and so far very pleased with them. I live in MIchigan. We get snow anywhere from November to April time frame, and consistently cold temperatures, down to single digit degrees. The Blizzak's have held up very well, improved ride quality and been very well to work in the snow/cold. Road noise is a little bit more from the large tread blocks, but not so much to interfere with conversational in the cabin. Stopping distance and response is great in the snow/cold and the car feels very well controlled. I only use the snow tires for winter seasons, and have stock summer tires for the rest of the year, so it remains to be seen how many seasons I can get from the Blizzaks' but hoping at least three seasons. So far very pleased with these tires.

These tires are outstanding. About as close as you can get to driving on dry pavement. I have them on my Infiniti G37xs, and they work great. Even the treadwear is excellent for a winter tire. My work van has studded tires and even these work better than those tires do.

Best snow tire on the market in my opinion, ive taken these tires through 3 plus feet of now with now problems, great studless tire for ice on the road I haven't slid once.
