Review on Bridgestone Blizzak Spike-02 185/65 R15 88T winter by Jnis Muinieks ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

Although noisier than summer tires, these are noticeably quieter than older winter tires (Gislaved Nordfrost). On asphalt, whether dry or rainy, the road is always perfectly maintained, giving the impression of traveling in a rail car. The microvibrations felt on the steering wheel were substantially reduced. To ride one of these is a delight. Akin to driving a brand-new vehicle. Currently, manufacturing is still taking place in Japan.

Pros
  • Extremely determined! Superb traction on both dry pavement and slippery surfaces. Quite quiet (especially compared to the Gislaved before it). Tires with the Made in Japan label were produced in Japan.
Cons
  • no longer missing. Perhaps it's the price; at $4,200 for a single balloon, it's not exactly cheap.
