Review on Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 225/65 R17 102S winter by Stanislaw Plonka ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product, best quality.

I removed the studding before purchasing it in the beginning of February since, frankly, I didn't care for it at all. Produced in Japan (the preceding sentence should not be construed as an advertisement; it is merely for your information). Extremely gentle in comparison to the spikes. So, obviously there is no sound coming from it. When the stud is removed, the steering response is slower than normal, but it is more even. This is something that I believe to be vital on slick surfaces in order to keep the maximum amount of grip. Behavior: I found it to be quite enjoyable both on dry asphalt and in sand, snow, and water porridge. It also behaves well in snow, does not plan in puddles, and does not splash against glass (this is not the first time I have noticed this behavior with bridges). On pristine, smooth ice (which occurs occasionally but should be remembered if you decide to buy), you will need to exercise increased caution because the braking distance will be a little bit bothersome. But I will say it again, on really smooth ice, without any bumps, and even then she has trouble keeping her balance, she is able to maintain the course here with both braking and acceleration. In passing, I might mention that the stability in lateral movement is really good. Size 245/70 R16, UAZ Patriot. Whatever it is, I will consume it as soon as I find it. Addendum: On April 5 the season shifted to summer (the temperature does not drop below +2, which is unfortunate) - and as I was accustomed to riding it, after the bridge it does not stay the course, it roars. Addition 2: I have already experienced unfavorable weather conditions, such as snow porridge, freezing rain, and ice, since the new season began. On the highway, I failed to remember to engage 4wd. A goodyear yltra grip ice arctic suv of the German low tide was there before it. Instantaneously, without even adjusting the pace or the course, it made it evident that it was slippery under it. happy).
