Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1 255/60R17 106R BSW

With these tires I never had to worry about road conditions. Even after 35,000 miles they had better traction than my brand new set of Goodyear K/O 2's. I never lost traction in snow or ice. The first day I replaced my Blizzak's with a brand new set of K/O 2's I slid pulling out of my driveway. That had not happened in the previous 2 years under the Blizzak's.

These tires are great for winter conditions but the road noise is beyond acceptable levels. It's so bad that have people who won't ride in my vehicle. Next purchase will Not be Blizzak.

We were looking for a good Winter tire and found a "Great" Winter tire in the Blizzak line. They worked so great that we bought a set for our Mazda 3. Thanks Bridgestone.

Two years ago I picked up my first set of these tires and today I'm buying my second set. I drive from Denver to many of the ski resorts (70-170 miles one way# in very bad conditions all the time and these are by far the best tires I've ever driven with. In ice they truly grab or bite and as stated in other reviews you are able to change lanes with mid-lane snow build up and drive in fresh snow with control and ease. BE SURE TO REMOVE THESE IN THE SUMMER - Part of this tires amazingness is it's downfall too, as the heat increases the tires will rapidly wear out. Save your money and remove these in the summer, if possible #not everyone has the money to do this). If you don't take these off in summer, you will experience amazing handling, as the tire will basically be melting into the heat of the pavement.

Tires have been great for 5 winter seasons. I ensure I take tires off before weather get too hot. Great in hard packed snow, wet snow and ice. A great value. Especially if you value your own safety.
