Tires Continental or BRIDGESTONE

Continental DSW06 and never look back good in the summer amazing in the snow

On our cars we have had the Blizzak WS60/70/80 and Blizzak DM-V2 for 20 years. The Blizzaks have been awesome but want to test the Hakkas to see if they are better than the Blizzaks.

Vikingcontact 7 — VERY good in snow and ice. Good in dry and wet.

I've used Blizzaks for a long time and they are great. I keep going back because they work great.

Have had them since Friday and haven’t had any bad weather yet, but there is only just the slightest difference in dry handling performance from the stock tires. For me, a non-professional driver not driving on a track, it’s only just _barely_ noticeable.

The Blizzak we have are 9 years old, but they are still in a good condition. We drive about 10k km/yr. So I guess the extra price you pay for top brand winter tires is for durability. I know there’s also comfort and noise level difference between good and less-good tires, but again I don’t feel any difference.

I run Blizzaks on my XC70 in the winter, and it's a utter MONSTER in the snow. I've embarrassed 4WD vehicles with good tires on snowy forest roads. I went into the mountains early season last year with just the all-seasons on after a minor snow event (a couple inches, plows had been through) and skidded slightly off a plowed gravel road onto a soft shoulder. Never would have happened with the Blizzaks, I'd just been lazy and hadn't put them on yet - they got put on later that afternoon. I don't notice much of a gas mileage hit that the winter fuel blend doesn't mostly account for anyway.

I highly recommend bridgestone Blizzaks, basically the best of the best. Any modern car with AWD and winter tires will be fine in the snow.

I had Supercats for a while and they were meh at best but did the job.

Oh mate you have chosen a shit tyre, I had the BT23 and they were straight plastic in super cold weather :/ (took ages to get em to even get warm)

I had multiple spin ups/slides over white markings and straight up dodgy pavement in London, made me lose a lot of confidence in the wet
