This is the second set of Blizzak tires I have owned. They are great for CNY winters. They will help get you where you are going in the nasty slush and snow safely.

I'm really pleased with these tires! I was able to get up my driveway, which I wasn't able to do last year with my prior snow tires. I'm waiting to see how they do on the really un-plowed city streets, but I think they will do well. My experience with these tires at this point is limited, but I do feel a lot safer driving than I did before.

I love these tires! I have driven with studded tires for 20 years and was hesitant to purchase something other than studded. These tires had an excellent rating and were recommended by several others. I am very satisfied with my decision to purchase these tires. We have had a cold and snowy winter and I wish I purchased these at the beginning of the season!

So far, after two mini snow storms tires seem to be performing admirably. Highway driving is quiet and smooth. Havent really had ice conditions, so hard to tell. Up to now I am pleased with tire performance, certainly performs better than my all weather radials did.

Comparing to previous experience with studded Nokian hakkepeliittas on a Mercedes 300D, E320 and a Volvo 240 wagon, and Continental Conti Extreme Contact on a Jeep Grand Cherokee: can say the Blizzak is a very good winter tire. Not quite the same ice traction as studs, but very close, and possibly superior on wet ice. Not quite as good as a more aggressive-treaded snow tire in heavy, deep wet slushy snow, but otherwise excellent. Excellent braking performance on ice, and truly surprising holding ability when hitting ice on curves. Tire will slip, but does not "break away" -- instead giving plenty of margin of safety to correct a skid. Will definitely buy another set when needed.

I bought these for my 2002 F-150. The truck is rear wheel drive and gets horrible traction in slick/slippery conditions. The Blizzaks were the answer. It has snowed for the past three days and the tires are great. I can get out of the driveway every morning without having to shovel and it grips the road even when the snow gets slushy and slippery. I got the tires without studs because I may have to use them until spring, but so far I haven't had the need for studded tires. Great tire and it looks great on the truck. Definitely recommended for the 2WD F-150.
