Buffalo, New York tested. I purchased the Blizzak WS 90's just as we were getting hit with 5' of snow. I installed them just in time since I purchased them mounted on rims. I always run snow tires here. They have saved me many times. We really do get snow measured in feet at a time. 5 feet this time where I work. Only 8 inches at my house, 18 miles from work. Lake effect snow hits us in narrow bands so that we can go from bare pavement to full on white out conditions in a matter of miles. We need to be prepared here for winter at a moment's notice. I have had Blizzak's before and they have performed. The difference with these WS 90's is that they are so quiet and well balanced. They don't whine, grind and thump the way some other snow tires have done. They went well in deep snow, on hard pack and in the salted wet slippery type snow. So far so good, with 2,000 miles on them. About 1,500 miles driven in snow and the rest on bare pavement. I have no information on durability since they are new to me.

So far the tires are preforming well in wet, heavy snow. The Bridgestone website to obtain the rebate is VERY glitchy, requiring an abundance of time and persistence. Don't count on this if this was an incentive to buy Bridgestone .... I will be surprised if the credit arrives by mail as indicated in 10 to 12 weeks.

I HAVE BEEN USING BRIDGESTONE BLIZZAK SNOW TIRES ON ALL MY VEHICLES FOR MANY YEARS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE BY FAR THE BEST SNOW TIRE ON THE MARKET THAT WILL GIVE YOU THE BEST TRACTION AND STOPPING THAN ANY OTHER BRAND OUT THERE. I HAVE RECOMMENDED THIS BRAND TO ALL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND THEY TO NOW HAVE THEM ON THERE VEHICLES.

I have always been a user of Michelin tires. This time the Bridgestone winter Blizzak WS90 was recommended over a Michelin X-Ice tire. After driving on these tires for the past week I am very happy for this choice as they are very quiet and feel very comfortable in the ride. Am looking forward to their performance in snow conditions. Definitely recommend these tires.

We love these tires! When we bought our RAV4 new, we decided not to get AWD. Only front wheel drive (we thought we'd save some money). Well, that was a mistake! But thankfully we found these tires and they are awesome! It really makes it feel like we have AWD, with these on. WHAT A HUGE DIFFERENCE! Thank you Bridgestone! You saved the day!

Got a new vehicle just at years end and decided to give the OEM all-season tires a chance. Prior vehicle was a 13 year old Subaru Legacy which did reasonably well with all seasons. Have had previous FWD vehicles and didn't feel trapped inside with the all seasons they had . Not the case here and the Blizzak WS90 saved the day. Had 2 storms come through and struggled to get up even the slightest incline and even go time on even grades was challenging. The experiment failed and Tire Rack came to the rescue. Got the new tires 3 days after order and locally installed the next. The Blizzak WS 90 is a game changer. Excellent traction on snow an ice, and no issues with icy intersections or inclines. So far most driving has been on snow/ ice covered conditions so will see what handling and noise is like on drive pavement, but so these tires do their job great. If at all on the fence about investing in Blizzak winter tires and / or the Tire Rack, don't be. Go for it

Got these Blizzak 80s tires for a winter trip to Texas Hill Country from Washington state. Took the long way there and back, 5k miles, and drove three thousand miles in Texas, largely on wet and dry chipseal roads. All driving to/from on dry roads except for a couple down pours, one in Twin Falls Idaho and another in Texas. While people were hydroplaning all around us and going off the road we were having full control of our car and kept on going. We never did see snow until our return driving through Portland, Or. Traffic was at a stand still and all snarled. We worked our way through traffic and the ruts and made it to Vancouver, Wa. Everything was fine til we got to our driveway. One hundred feet of 12" snow. Our Kia has 6" of ground clearance, if that. Plus, the street department bladed a berm, by now frozen snow, in front of our house. Got a run at the driveway and those tires clawed their way to our garage door. It was awesome. After I had the factory tires put back on, i measured the tread depth. Still had 3/4 tire ware left. After 8000 miles. Thats amazing. Well, the factory tires are worn off now at about 48,000 miles and Im putting those 80s back on for this Winter. We get a lot of slippery wet year around driving that sends cars through intersections, off corners and into other vehicles, even when driving careful. We also get Winter freezing rain. These 80s are magic for traction when driving defensively for the conditions.

I have had studded tires and other brands of tires the tire shops have talked me into...but I have been disappointed. I always go back to blizzack winter tires and have great traction on snow and ice with no sliding. They are not noisy and driving feels great on dry road and especially winter conditions. I will never get talked into another brand again!

IF anyone is thinking about purchasing a set of Blizzak snow tires, I highly recommend it. It hands down will be the best money ever spent. Look, I do not persuade easily and I also did thorough research on this brand and other snow tires before I purchased my first set 2 years ago. I choose Blizzak and have continued to be truly amazed in regards to how well the Blizzak tires work on snow and ice conditions. I consider myself a car guy and until recenlty have never thought about purchasing a set. 2 winters ago, I noticed my next door neighbor had a set on his car, so I asked him about them. He said they work amazing in winter conditions... still a little skeptical myself I remained a bit guarded......but having a lot of trust in my neighbor, I thought I will give it a shot as conditions in Minnesota are rough in the winter. To my surprise, I was truly amazed how the Blizzak WS90 tires perform. Honestly I feel like I am driving on dry pavement, even though the conditions are snow and ice covered roads. I am not kidding... I would say it improves performance by 4x. These tires are so good, I have purchased my second set - this time for my daughters SUV. My relatives are also purchased a set last year (for a Ford Explorer) and another this year for a Ford 150. I currently have installed on an Buick Encore GX and a Chevy Equinox. Best money every spent to handle bad weather conditions of Minnesota. Have both the WS90 and DMV2.

This is my second set of Blizzaks and my go to for driving in the Maritimes during the winter months. Best on ice, freezing rain and good for nervous winter drivers; with our every changing weather I trust Blizzak tire to get me where I need to go in all kinds of weather.
