Review on Bridgestone Blizzak Spike-02 SUV 265/60 R18 114T winter by Stanislaw Mlekodaj ᠌

Outlander XL car, tire size 215 70 R16. Skated almost the entire winter season. Drove around 5000 km. Controllability. That's just in awe of her. Asphalt, ice, snow porridge, snowdrift. On my car, on none of the coatings, I did not even encounter any tangible slippage. Take, touch and go. Sticks amazingly. At speed behaves perfectly, but more than 120 did not seem to go. There were no emergency braking, but the grip is enough for my quiet operation for the eyes. Several times on ice I braked with more effort than usual, just to "feel" the grip - the car braked perfectly, the wheels did not block. In terms of handling, the car is very comfortable and confident to move around. Flying through puddles is a pure thrill. Tires confidently knock out water from under the wheels to the sides and no feeling of planning is created. They feel the rut, yes, but they don’t cause much discomfort at the same time. Now for the sad stuff! Helicopter drone is unreal! On long trips at speeds above 80 km / h, it is unrealistic to talk. This is doubly insulting, because when I took it, everyone wrote that it was quiet. Guys, but how noisy then? I had a bridgestone ice cruiser 5000 - a fairy tale! Manageability is also on the level, while they were not heard at all! From the word at all! Then I took it on the advice of Nokian tests - excellent driving performance, but they buzz terribly, I think next time only breeches. And so I took it, it seems, and a high-level tire and the model is not old, how does it turn out, I don’t understand? Separately, about the break-in! The first 1000 km drove as carefully as possible, the first 700 no more than 50-60 km/h, then no more than 80 km/h. Everything as advised by tire gurus and so on. Up to 60 km / h is not particularly audible and was very pleased. When the first time I gave 80 km / h, I thought the helicopter was taking off nearby! Then to a long distance . 100-110 km / h is just awful! It got a little quieter over time. I thought I would even put 4 stars, but recently I drove it to a long distance - it doesn’t pull above three. Very noisy. Disappointed, especially since it was expensive.
