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.

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!

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.

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 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!

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.

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!

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 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.
