Blizzaks on my wrx, amazing in the snow and ice, and handle cold like a champ.
I have never been letdown by my RE-71R's! On my second set and never going back to Pilot Sports again.
On our V90 Cross Country, we grabbed a set of 18-Inch - 5-Double Spoke Alloy Wheel - Silver (Part # 31428595), put some Bridgestone Blizzack DM-V2's (235/55R18) on them. Car is rock solid in the snow.
When I was buying my tires, I did a ton of research and narrowed it down to Bridgestone Blizzak and Michelin X-Ice. I ended up getting the blizzaks and they're really awesome, so quiet and extremely effective. I wasn't just looking for a snow tire, but also one that performed well on slush (because Toronto ????). You'd be good on either of these tires.
I have run both blizzaks and ice I have found the Ice last longer and seem to run quieter they are worth the cost
Couldn't agree more, just swapped to my Blizzaks for the winter, just another thing to not worry about. Got early snow/slush over the weekend, and it drives just fine in that slop. And when the snow gets deep (rarely), no problem:
Some plain steelies and a set of Blizzaks are your friend.
I had the Bridgestone 970ASes. They have incredible consistency which is the huge plus over a straight summer needing warmup before it really sticks. Wet grip is almost the same as dry. They were the best tires I had on my caravan and golf, you can get by a winter with them if you don't have a second set of wheels.
The Bridgestone RE780 AS is another excellent tire- I'd say it's nearly as good as the Michelin, definitely better than the BFG. Where it falls down is cost- it's about the same price as the Michelin PS A/S line of all seasons and does not have the same performance. Great in the dry, great in the wet- the dry grip is not as good as the Michelin.
My re050a's were totally worn out at 11k Miles.
