Tyre reviews Bridgestone Blizzak Spike-02 SUV. Page 28 426

An excellent tire in all respects, a bit noisy.

Normal

Almost all native studs have fallen out, about 70%. I have to re-stud every season and the repair ones don't hold either. It's very noisy, had to make noise with the arches. The tread pattern is good, deep grooves for snow are normal. A bulge appeared on the sidewall. Although the size is 215/60R16, meaning the sidewall is quite thick.

After Nokian Hakkapeliitta 5, the sport ones seem quieter. They handle well on both dry and snowy roads.

Hello to all car enthusiasts and professionals. I want to share my experience with this particular tire model.
First of all, I want to note that I specifically wanted this model because I only choose studded winter tires - that's my first priority, and secondly, I had a great experience with Bridgestone Icecruiser 2000 (excellent tires).
I've driven 3000 km on these "wheels".
But how brutally disappointed I was.
The first huge disadvantage is the noise level. When driving in the city, you don't feel any discomfort, it's as quiet as a morgue, but as soon as you hit the highway - it's over. From 130 km/h, it's not just noise, but some kind of rumble, and the faster you go, the louder it gets. I understand that studded tires make some noise, if you want silence, get a non-studded tire, but the rumble when driving is just ridiculous, sorry guys. I thought it was due to the break-in period, so I did a wheel balancing after 1000 km, but it didn't help, the rumble remained. I had the same problem with Nokian Nordman, but the rumble appeared after three seasons of use (10-12 thousand km of mileage).
Of course, you can tolerate this disadvantage, gritting your teeth, since I don't often drive on the highway, only 1-2 times a year.
The second disadvantage, which is impossible to tolerate, is the weak sidewall. In 3000 km, I got two bulges, i.e., two tires that I can throw away, and that's a minus 40,000 rubles from the family budget.
Before that, I used Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7, which I got from the previous owner, and I used them for three seasons.
In short, my impression is on the level of some cheap Russian tire (I used it before, but I've already forgotten the name), only the price is not like a Russian tire.
Now, recalling my choice, I think "I would have added 20,000 rubles and bought Michelin".
The result is that I do not recommend this tire.

Excellent tires! Liked by absolutely everyone! I put the highest score!

Excellent tires. For the first season, I didn't lose a single stud.

Bought 215/65 R16, made in Russia. They hold quite well on ice. On loose snow, they skid a bit. Braking is predictable. The tires are quite noisy, but not critically. In operation for 1 season, the studs are in place.

Excellent tires, drove a season not a single stud came out and the rubber is like new.

The coolest tires, excluding tractor ones! When trying to drive through shallow soft snow 7-10 cm high, it feels like the car is being led. In more lightweight situations, the tires behave flawlessly.

Once at a speed of 130 (Moscow-Petersburg) I got into aquaplaning and made a fatal mistake - did not release the brake pedal before the puddle itself, but continued to brake, as a result of which I started dancing on two lanes of traffic. After 5 turns of the wheel, the car stabilized, and all passengers and the driver got wet with sweat, because the car almost overturned, but managed to save the situation.

The tires are studded, so they are noisier than friction ones.
