I've owned all of the brands and these are noticeably better than the others for true snow and ice conditions. It's excellent in rain and slush too. This is the tire for you if you need to drive in Ski Country or severe weather. Only thing that could improve is the road noise. I'm sure it's hard to have deep treads and no road noise. Take a look at the "New" tread depth compared to the competitors.

I bought these to replace the Goodyear Duratracks on my 2019 Chev silverado 1500. The duratracks wore very well - had over 80000km's on them. But on my 20 inch factory rims, they were extremely Noisy! I faithfully rotated them every 5000ish km's. The 18" Blizzacks I replaced them with have excelent traction, and are very quiet. The quietest tires I have ever owned on my trucks.

Great for everyday winter driving in snowy conditions, as well as getting me through mountainous roads not maintained/plowed by the county that I just wouldn't be able to handle with my all-season tires (even with a car that's very good in the snow).

We live in Alberta, Canada. We ski in the winter and drive dozens of times through the mountain passes in inclement and unpredictable weather. Black ice and storms are common. I have driven in less quality tires, and I feel the difference, especially over time. Recommend only Blizzaks, and will even buy them for my young adult children to ensure their safety. Worth it, believe me.

I have purchased new three sets of Bridgestone Blizzak VM winter tires, three different vehicles, sedan, SUV, and off-road. They have ALL performed as advertised and expected!!! I have never been in any winter driving situation that my Blizzaks have not failed to rectify... ice, snow , slush, black ice. I wouldn't drive any other tire... FULL STOP!

Mid Feb 22 ice storm. Went up hill to Wheeling Park HS and had no problem getting there in 4 wheel drive with tires. Had to check I had to check the generators. This was a emergency. The power was out. Drove past trees blocking more than half of road with ice on road and trees. Went to back of the building in 2 wheel drive and tires lost traction only after I stop, and try to move again. I still moved with no problem after one second of slippage in 2 wheel drive. These tires are great. Best tires to have in winter.

Drove with these tires up a 35 degree incline while other cars slid past. Also drove on compacted snow, fresh snow over ice and deep snow. Every winter situation drove fine, I didn't speed of course. I have 20k miles on them and they still have 40% tread left due to the amount of rubber they have compared to other winter tires. I change them out for summer.

When it comes to security in a tire when the weather wants to suddenly change on you, These tires can't be beat . Was headed back to Cincinnati from Washington D.C. last year when we were "pounded" by a severe snowstorm. Almost "white out" conditions. But these tires performed flawlessly. There was never a moment that I felt concerned about traction. I would recommend these tires for those whom live in areas of the country that have "quick " weather changes.

I have been using Blizzak tires for about 15 years on both all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive vehicles and can attest to the superior performance over just all-season radials. Starting, stopping, and cornering are all noticeably improved with Blizzaks. A co-worker suggested I try a set 15 years ago, and I became a fan immediately! Well worth the money, just for the peace of mind and safety!

I've had Bridgestones on my last 4 vehicles and have always been thoroughly happy with their quality and the way they handle on ice and heavy snow. I owned a service Center for years and always recommend them to all my clients as well , and since I've sold my business I still buy them when I change rides.
