Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1 245/70R16 107 R Tire Fits: 2002-03 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, 2003-06 Kia Sorento EX

We were in Yuma, Arizona this January and were supposed to be back in Traverse City, Michigan by late January. The weather this winter was what winter used to be 30-40 years ago. Snow, snow, snow and ice on the roads. We were driving a 40', 40,000 lb Motorcoach pulling the Ford F-150. As we inquired about getting home we were told not to try and bring the Coach. The roads were terrible and the long term out look was not getting any better. We left starting the trip the morning after it rained that night and the gravel roads we had to travel over for 1.5 miles to the highway you could ice skate on. We even had to pull the coach with the F-150 so we could get to the highway. We ended up leaving the Coach in Montgomery, Alabama with friends and drove the F-150 home. From Ft. Wayne Indiana to Traverse City Michigan the interstate was completely either snow covered or ice. Much of the time the passing lane had not been plowed. With DM-V1 blizzaks, 2 years old now, we were able to go at normal posted speeds of 70 miles per hour. My wife even commented on how we were able to drive in any lane at normal speed and were still fully under control. We keep Blizzaks on all our passengere vehicles as a winter set of tires. First question we ask when we order new vehicles -"Do they have a set of Blizzaks to fit this vehicle"?. It is that important for us. We just ordered a new 2014 F-150 limited which comes with 22" wheels. They have a set of Blizzaks to fit it!!!!! Guaranteed, they will be on it for the wife and grandkids safety.

I travel across MN and ND every two weeks, driving to and from the oil rig. These Blizzaks are UNREAL. Best tire traction I have ever had in snow and Ice. We get a lot of Blizzards and the Alberta Clippers coming out of the North really make the road conditions horrendous at times. I bought and ran these last winter and take them off early spring. Putting them back on tomorrow preparing for Jack Frost.
