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.

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!

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.

THIS IS MY SECOND SET OF BLIZZAKS. MY FIRST SET WAS ON A FORD FLEX ALL WHEEL DRIVE. IT WAS EXCEPTIONAL IN WINTER SITH THESE TIRES. THEN I TRIED ANOTHER BRAND SUPPOSEDLY FOR ICE AND WINTER ...NO COMPARISON AS FAR AS MY EXPERIENCE. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE WHAT THESE TIRES WILL DO WITH THE HYBRID ELECTRONIC TRACTION AND STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEMS. MY EXPECTATION IS EVEN BETTER PERFORMANCE IN WINTER!

I purchased 4 Bridgestone Blizzaks WS-70 new winter tires in 2013 for my then new Ford Escape and used them for each winter up to 2021 and they worked amazing and are still in good condition. Bought a 2022 Ford Escape recently and had to upgrade to a larger winter tire and chose the Blizzak DM-V2 winter tires and on the ride home from OK Tire in Owen Sound and I already noticed a smooth and quiet ride.

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!

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.

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!

I have been running Blizzak winter tires on at lest my last 10 vehicles. They have ranged from pickups, a Dodge van, various SUVs, a Prius, a BMW and a few Mercedes. My wife wants them on anything she will be driving in the winter. I particularly like the security afforded when driving on some icy patches. Yes, they may seem like a luxury, but if you get them off early in the spring before the roads are dry and hot you will get many miles from them. Just got some DM-V2s on our Grand Cherokee today and they will get tested in the overnight snow. If you live where it snows you need Blizzaks on your vehicle.
