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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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.

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!
