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.

Testing Studless Ice & Snow Winter Tires for Crossovers and SUVs(04:23)
There's a common misperception that an SUV's or CUV's advanced systems can create additional traction. They can't. Their purpose is to help the driver make the most of whatever traction their tires can provide.
And for winter season driving, there is none better than a tire from the Studless Ice & Snow category.
We evaluate the category's newest in the most challenging winter condition. Ice.
Ratings data demonstrates the Bridgestone Turanza T005 excels in comfort, with smooth ride quality and low noise levels scoring consistently in the 8-10 range. Dry traction stands out as a top strength, with many ratings at 9-10 for confident handling and responsive steering. Wet performance is also strong, with high marks for grip and hydroplaning resistance, though a few scores dip to 7. Treadwear longevity receives mixed feedback, with most ratings in the 7-10 range but some lower scores indicating variability. As a grand touring summer tire, it delivers well-rounded performance in its intended categories of dry and wet traction.

These tires have great wet and dry traction... I have not experienced much hydroplaning in heavy rains, they have excellent grip in the dry, and are reasonably quiet...
These tires have great wet and dry traction. I have not put enough miles on to write on treadwear but hoping to get at least 30k out of them. I have not experienced much hydroplaning in heavy rains, they have excellent grip in the dry, and are reasonably quiet. A good all around tire.

...Florida based so handle well at speed in excess of 90+ also (passing on two lane roads, lol)...
Good looking tires, Florida based so rain conditions are important , handle well at speed in excess of 90+ also (passing on two lane roads, lol). Noise level on nice Florida interstate highways is great, and smooth riding tires also. I replaced previous Michelin Pilot Sport tires with these, couldn’t be happier. The buying experience was great, they arrived within 48 hours and I had a mobile installer come to my house and install-super convenient and fast. I will never sit in a tire store again and have my tires installed.

Excellent tire with balanced wet and dry grip. Low noise and great comfort. These wear fast but that’s to be expected with a European style summer tire. Great for every day driving as well as spirited back roads.

...I have this car flashed with over 300 hp so it moves, and these tires make me feel much more confident.
I'm really happy with these tires. The previous set was Continental ProContacts and were always too noisy for me, even when they were new. These Bridgestones feel so smooth on the road and are dead quiet. Like the most quiet tires I've had on a sporty car. I have this car flashed with over 300 hp so it moves, and these tires make me feel much more confident.

...The Turanza's must have a softer sidewall because the ride is noticeably improved... However, for the stuff I do most often (back and forth to work on a highway), the Turanza's are more comfortable...
I removed Michelin Pilot Sport 4 A/S tires to install these. The Michelins definitely have a stiffer sidewall and a more direct response to steering input. The Turanza's must have a softer sidewall because the ride is noticeably improved. However, quick steering inputs cause a half-step delay that actually upsets the balance a bit. I guess I was spoiled by the Michelins before and didn't realize it. However, for the stuff I do most often (back and forth to work on a highway), the Turanza's are more comfortable. I don't think they would perform well in an autocross, which I did several times with the Michelins and they performed well.

I got a little wider than stock size tires, the delivery was fast. I had nittos before was really noisy and vibrated a lot on freeway. These bridgestones are so quiet and smooth on the freeway. I don't think I will buy nittos again. Bridgestone is a bit pricey but worth it.

These were original equipment and I got 27000 miles from the rear and will probably get 30000+ miles from the front. For an EV, I would consider these exceptional results.
