Review on Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 225/65 R17 102S winter by Jnis Krsli ᠌

Before I made my first purchase of winter tires, I had driven my Volkswagen Polo, Toyota RAV4, and Honda Civic 5d on summer tires all year long for a total of ten years without ever switching to winter tires. At the moment, I get around in a car that's a Kia Sportage 3, 2.0i, All-Wheel Drive. Elegant navigating while maintaining complete composure! When it snowed for the very first time in our region on December 26, I was so excited that I didn't even stop to check if the tires were ready for winter because I was in such a hurry. Before then, I had driven close to two hundred kilometers on dry and wet asphalt. The Hankook Optima winter tires have a softer rubber compound than the summer tires, which is as it should be (I tested it on our cobblestone streets), and they are quieter than the summer tires. I did not detect any difference between the two. Because I am a calm driver, I am unable to comment on the handling or cornering of the vehicle; it feels perfectly normal to me. On snow oatmeal, the car braked exceptionally well, did not skid, and I also tried fast acceleration, which was confident and did not result in any skidding (in my opinion, even the rear drive is not enabled). I did find one spot with clear ice, and when I approached it at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, I used the brakes. The anti-lock braking system functioned, and the situation was under control. I don't believe there's much more I can say seeing as how the temperature has returned to "zero" and the snow has almost completely melted:) The only reason I bought tires was because my wife insisted we do so. She declared, "I won't ride summer tires in WINTER!":)
