Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 - 245/45R18/XL 100H Tire

This is our 6th set of Bridgestone Blizzaks over four different vehicles and we will not buy anything else. We live up north where we battle snow and ice covered roads each weekend to got skiing. These tires are confident inspiring in the worst conditions. The rubber compound finds grip even when you don't think it will and because of improvements over the years the tires last longer than previous generations. If you are comparing winter tires and wonder which set is for you just by a set of Blizzacks, you will not be disappointed!

Buffalo, New York tested. I purchased the Blizzak WS 90's just as we were getting hit with 5' of snow. I installed them just in time since I purchased them mounted on rims. I always run snow tires here. They have saved me many times. We really do get snow measured in feet at a time. 5 feet this time where I work. Only 8 inches at my house, 18 miles from work. Lake effect snow hits us in narrow bands so that we can go from bare pavement to full on white out conditions in a matter of miles. We need to be prepared here for winter at a moment's notice. I have had Blizzak's before and they have performed. The difference with these WS 90's is that they are so quiet and well balanced. They don't whine, grind and thump the way some other snow tires have done. They went well in deep snow, on hard pack and in the salted wet slippery type snow. So far so good, with 2,000 miles on them. About 1,500 miles driven in snow and the rest on bare pavement. I have no information on durability since they are new to me.
