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 have had 4 of these Dm-V2 Blizzaks on one of my trucks in the past. My 2020 F-150 I let my local tire man talk my into a set of General Artic snows as he sells them a says they are just as good as the Blizzaks. Well, in my opinion, there was no comparison. They didn't stop or take off near as good on snowy conditions. Also, they didn't have a good ride to them. It will be Blizzaks for me hands down from now on.

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!

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 travel home home to WhistlerBC and Penticton. I've woken up to 3 feet of snow. Unplowed roads. Mountain highway and never had an issue. Just the piece of mind knowing that I have the best tires for a safe trip. Nothing stopping me! I can't say enough about these tires. This is my 3rd set. I have them on both my Subaru's.

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!

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).

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.

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.
