Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 - 225/50R17 94H Tire

We had Blizzak tires on our previous Honda Civic about 9 years ago and really liked them. Now we recently purchased these Blizzak WS90's from our Honda Dealership and we really like the way they stick to the road. Would recommend these winter traction tires.

Got these Blizzak 80s tires for a winter trip to Texas Hill Country from Washington state. Took the long way there and back, 5k miles, and drove three thousand miles in Texas, largely on wet and dry chipseal roads. All driving to/from on dry roads except for a couple down pours, one in Twin Falls Idaho and another in Texas. While people were hydroplaning all around us and going off the road we were having full control of our car and kept on going. We never did see snow until our return driving through Portland, Or. Traffic was at a stand still and all snarled. We worked our way through traffic and the ruts and made it to Vancouver, Wa. Everything was fine til we got to our driveway. One hundred feet of 12" snow. Our Kia has 6" of ground clearance, if that. Plus, the street department bladed a berm, by now frozen snow, in front of our house. Got a run at the driveway and those tires clawed their way to our garage door. It was awesome. After I had the factory tires put back on, i measured the tread depth. Still had 3/4 tire ware left. After 8000 miles. Thats amazing. Well, the factory tires are worn off now at about 48,000 miles and Im putting those 80s back on for this Winter. We get a lot of slippery wet year around driving that sends cars through intersections, off corners and into other vehicles, even when driving careful. We also get Winter freezing rain. These 80s are magic for traction when driving defensively for the conditions.
