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.

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.

Haven't driven on these yet in ice/snow however the minute I looked at the installed tires I was glad we went with these. The tread is very substantial for snow and I feel well protected now if there's ice. Heading to Tennessee for Xmas and their weather can be iffy especially with ice. Thanks Bridgestone!

I put Blizzak tires on all of my work vans and personal trucks. I just put them on my oldest daughters first car. I want her to stop and stay on the road! These tires will give me the peace of mind that I need and I know they work great because I have been using them for years! When my local service station cannot get Blizzaks I find them on my own and bring them to them for installation.

We live in Northwest BC and enjoy skiing at a local mountain that is inland 130km. Of course, the best days to ski are the worst days on the roads and we experienced every condition this past winter, including slush, sheer ice and deep snow. These tires (Blizzak DV-M2) instill nothing but confidence. I can't say enough...if you are considering a set for your next winter season buy them! You will not be disappointed.

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).

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!

I have a 2005 Chevy Blazer LS 4Dr 4WD. I had some winter Goodyear Extreme Winter tires on my Blazer, and I thought all this time the roar in my bearings was coming from the bearings wearing out. I just had them changed out and still got the sound, not thinking it was coming from the tire. I purchased these Blizzak for this year's Colorado winters and noticed as soon as I had driven off the comfort and steering. Then there wasn't a roaring sound coming from my front end. I'm sold. I don't care what the price of these is. If I'd known that it was just the tires, I would have gotten rid of them before not, and it would have saved me another couple of $100s on wheel bearings. I have not tested them in the snow yet, but it will be soon with Colorado winters!

Been a loyal customer of Kal tire for 30 plus years. They always go above and beyond on customer service with a nice team atmosphere . Blizzaks tires are the best winter tire for B.C. as far as I'm concerned with our ever changing mountain conditions.

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.
