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.

Blizzak is by far the best tire for gripping ice. I was fortunate, to have opportunity to drive in winter conditions and compare these tires with other high end tires. We had 3 new 7 passenger vans with different winter tires, they were all comparable in snow traction but the ice traction of a Blizzak is superior!

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.

We're not supposed to but we drive these all year long on our Mazda CX-5. Lasted 44,000 KM's and worked well in all conditions, summer or winter. Could have gotten more mileage as the original set was only down to 6/32nds when we put on the new ones. Drove them through high mountain passes several times on both snow and ice with no problem. Love Blizzak. Nope, not a bot and certainly not a fake review. Live in Western Canada with lots of snow and ice for several months per year.

I Always choose blizzak as they have never let me down ! Bought multiple sets over the years for different cars . When the snow gets deep the better they work . Thank you Bridgestone .

These tires are such a game change for winter driving conditions, like night and day compared to the factory tires. Winter driving is made easy with the Blizzak. Thank you Bridgestone for creating such an incredible tire!!

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 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 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.
