Bridgestone Blizzaks

2AD Tanker · 11-19-2009, 11:36 AM

So far, I am very happy with the performance of the Blizzaks in dry and wet 35-55 degree weather.

I am looking forward to the snow now!

They are not bad at all outside the snow/ice, if you understand their performance limitations.

Please keep us posted once you have some experience with snow and ice in Milwaukee.

After Pirelli P-zero summer tires, my LM-25 RFTs made my car very very wobbly. 1st day I got them, it almost felt like different car. Steering Wheel response is delayed... Grrr.. I am hating them for now since it is not snowing...But when they save my @ss in the snow, I'd probably love them. Love, hate, love, hate...

Not counting the RFT variants, Tire Rack lists 7 different tires with the Blizzak name - which ones are you referring to?

I have the RFT Blizzak LM-60.

I have those as well...looking forward to the snow because in dry weather any time I step on it, I get the TC light blinking like a mofo.

You should try that with the WS-60's.

First and second gear are nearly unusable. They're absolutely excellent in the snow and ice, though.

Yes - if I get on it too hard the TC kicks in.

+3 on the WS-60s.

I've never had dedicated snows before these so I had no idea what to expect. I'm used to it now, but the first couple days it was like driving on marshmallows. I've had the TC light to go off at 60+mph just trying to pass someone with the WS-60s.

I've had them on for a few weeks now and sometimes passing someone with the nannies on is just ridiculous, I'll merdge inot the fast lane for a second give more throttle and nothing may happen -___-.
Just drive with DTC engaged, DSC limited mode and you'll be fine.
