Review on Bridgestone Blizzak Spike-02 SUV 225/60 R18 104T winter by Erica EU ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not quite what I wanted, but mostly okay.

Six winters of testing revealed that the necessary size Dunlops were not available (perhaps owing to geopolitical tensions). The lack of height and tread density on the breeches does not bode well, but we shall see.

Pros
  • Produced in Japan, consumers may rest assured that their tires won't split after a year like haka. Bridgestone is also doing well in terms of wear resistance. Unlike mud bighorns, they don't make a lot of noise.
Cons
  • When put next to the original Dunlop winter ices, blizzaks are nothing more than slicks on the road. Not tall, and not tread-bare. From what I can see, though, that is now the standard for "suv" tires.
