Review on Bridgestone Blizzak Ice 195/65 R15 95T winter by Micha Pyra ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

Winter tires without studs were bought for an elderly driver on a Skoda Octavia 1.8 liter car for commuting in the city, and Sunday trips out of town on the highway. The manufacturer was not chosen by chance, similar winter Velcro from Bridgestone served for many years without comment and switched from the old Skoda to the new one a couple of times. Through his own fault, he caught a side stone with a balloon and on the way it burst. Decided to buy new tires. Prices in all points of the city were the same to the penny. Tire fitting was done in my presence. There were no problems with tire fitting, geometry and cylinder balancing. Immediately after installation on an empty damp highway with slush for testing, it accelerated well and the behavior of the tires was satisfactory, like on old tires. At high speed, behavior is less predictable. Noise at high speed did not check. I must say right away that the rubber is designed for a quiet ride, and not for winter racing. The masters asked to leave the old tires, probably this means something. While the experience of use is only a few months, I hope that they will serve with dignity, like the previous Bridgestone tires

Pros
  • predictable behavior on the road at permitted speeds, not very noisy, the age driver has no comments.
Cons
  • Could be a little cheaper
