Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 RFT Winter 255/40ZR20 97V Passenger Tire

These tires make my 760Li (rear drive) quite usable throughout the winter months. On two occassions I have beefitted by the run flat technology; once driving the car from Boston to Allentown, PA (320miles)without air (valve stemfailure); and once (just last noght) driving from New York to Allentown after apothole induced blowout (the wheel was alos bent badly, but the technology allowed a safe albeit cautious drive to complete.

This tires are absolutely incredible. I bought these to replacemy OE Turanza All-Seasons for the long AK winters (we usually keep winter tireson for 8 months/year). Much more quiet than the Turanzas, I was tempted to just keep these on through the summer! Tread wear isn't bad, but of course it getsworse when driving them in warmer temps.< br>< br>The most amazing feature of these tires is the sheer level of grip. One necessity when driving on ice/snow is a quick stopping ability, and these tires could stop on a DIME. I actually rarely use the full braking power on these because people behind me cannot stop as well. I can also corner better and out accelerate anyone off a traffic light- anincredible feat in that most standing starts are on pure ice and a vast majority of people here drive Subies with studded tires. High speed cruising in this car is EXCELLENT. A quiet, comfortable ride with as much confidence as anyone can expect to put in a tire.< br>< br>Coupled with xDrive and these tires, my car handles on ice just about as well as it does in the summer. I bought these tires last winter and I did not spin, lose control, or get into an unintended slide ONCE, even in emergency situations. You can literally cruise around in the winterat 90+ on these tires (at your own risk of course). I would buy these tires again even if they were twice the price.
