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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor product, below average quality.

8 years of driving experience. Front-wheel drive Sportage 3 vehicle. I never drove with a shovel in the trunk when I owned cars in the past, but I now own one. So, during the first winter on the crossover. I debated for a while between this rubber and Pirreli Ice Zero because they are virtually the same price. I regret having taken this rubber. Though the Sportage is 700 kg heavier than the Lancer, I've had a Pirreli Ice Zero before, and I've never gotten trapped in the areas I'm now reluctant to travel. However, MAYBE that is the case! It may behave the same way or rather similarly on different Sportage tires (and comparable ones on the front-wheel drive) in these situations. This is my first review, and I felt compelled to spread the word because I can't figure out why rubber with such a high rating doesn't almost completely level off the ground. There aren't many pictures of the location where I used to be stuck. Spread. There have also been instances where I've driven backwards into the snow (exactly in the same rut where another car was stopped), the front wheels slipped almost entirely on the snow, and I was unable to get the car out.

Pros
  • handling on dry and paved surfaces. handling on a snowy, rolling road. manipulating ice.
Cons
  • THE MOST IMPORTANT FAILURE was that I was unable to exit 2 out of 5 times when driving onto a snowy roadside or an uncleaned road; the other 3 times involved skidding, etc. (I didn't return). She can hardly move at all on loose snow. 1 out of 10! I've never been buried in those places before, and it's hard for me to get out now. The rear (front-wheel drive) slides significantly when turning at a speed between medium and slightly below average; you must brake suddenly.
