Bridgestone Blizzak Ws80 205/55R16 Tire 91H

I have never owned winter tires before but after this last winter using Goodyear triple tread tires I decided that where those tires are good I really needed something more. Putting my new Blizzack WS-80's has literally transformed this vehicle. I have owned AWD and four wheel drive vehicles but putting these new Blizzack WS-80 tires on this car has given me the confidence level that i had when I owned a vehicle that was driving all four wheels. Believe me when say that you don't need four wheel drive and you don't need AWD you just need Blizzack!

I just returned from a 4hr highway trip with my two kids. Road conditions weren't very good as there has been blowing snow and drifting for 3 days now (aka super icy polished roads). I normally dread these conditions in my car always thinking that my car just isn't good in winter driving conditions. Would normally be a white-knuckled and super stressful scary trip. Well now I know it was the Michelin tires. Since I've had these Blizzaks on I have had the best winter handling in my car since I bought it almost 9 years ago. I was passing full sized 1 tonne's and SUV's and even tractor trailers who were having problems on the icy roads, and we were just fine. This has never happened in this car. Now I know it's the tires. Not only are these better on winter road conditions but they're almost half the price of Michelins. In-town driving is also far better than ever before. Even if these tires only last half the time of Michelin's (cuz that's what I've been hearing) they're still the better choice as nothing beats safety and security when driving. And with my Michelins they leaked air so bad I was pumping up my tires every three weeks minimum. Haven't had to do that since these. I am a Blizzak fan. So is my dad as he just went from Michelin's to Blizzaks in his Toyota Tundra and has the same reviews as me. SO there you go. Two reviews here from two different vehicle types.
