Review on Bridgestone Blizzak Spike-02 SUV 215/65 R16 98T winter by Mateusz Marek ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I didn't see good quality, solid disadvantages.

Driving experience 8 years. Sportage 3 car, front wheel drive. Previously, I had cars and I never drove with a shovel in the trunk, but now I have bought one. So, on the crossover the first winter. For a long time I chose between Pirreli Ice Zero and this rubber, the price is almost the same. Regretted that I took this rubber. I've had a Pirreli Ice Zero before on a Lancer and I've never gotten stuck in the places I'm now afraid to go, but the Sportage is 700kg heavier, MAYBE that's the case! Maybe on other Sportage tires (and similar ones on the front-wheel drive) in such places, it will behave the same or about the same. This is my first review, I felt it necessary to share this with others, because I don’t understand why rubber with such a high rating does not leave almost on level ground. There are only a few photos from the place where once stuck. Spread. There were also cases when I drove backwards into the snow (exactly in the same rut where another car was standing), the front wheels, practically on rolled snow, slipped and could not take the car out.

Pros
  • Handling on pavement and wet pavement. Handling on a rolled snowy road. Handling on ice.
Cons
  • THE MOST IMPORTANT FAILURE when driving onto a snowy roadside or an uncleaned road, I could not leave 2 out of 5 times, the remaining 3 times with slipping, etc. (didn't visit again). On loose snow, she practically can not go at all. 1 out of 10! BEFORE I HAVE NEVER BURIED IN THE PLACES WHERE NOW I HAVE DIFFICULT TO Escape! When turning at a speed of medium and slightly below average, the rear (front-wheel drive) slides a little bit, you need to slow down hard.
