Tyre reviews Bridgestone Blizzak Spike-03 3

For me, Bridgestone tires are a masterpiece. With each set, it's been over a decade and they just keep getting better and better, with no alternatives for my conditions. The first thing that catches your eye is the large number of studs compared to regular tires. Second, when you take them, it's easy to cut yourself on the studs, but during the run-in period, the excess will wear off. The previous version started to lose studs relatively quickly, but I didn't run them in, I drove them hard right away and at maximum load for the tires. The first rides were like an insect clinging to the road, so clear)))

On asphalt, they're good for studded tires. On snow, they're excellent, on ice and in ruts, they're better than previous models. They're much easier to pull out of an icy rut with the front wheels and there are no problems with that (the car's weight is not light, not exactly a lightweight), but the rear wheels will still slide sideways for a while, but they'll also come out soon. Comfort is ambiguous, as sometimes there's a certain hum under certain conditions, if you don't drive straight, especially in a turn. It's become very difficult to make the car skid, especially compared to the previous set, which had a small number of studs at the time. On the previous set (which I sold), I found out that in regions and even large cities, only studded tires compare and are noticeably better. I ran them in smoothly and step by step, they confidently hold the road and like the previous ones, easily hold the set speed values, with a noticeable margin. It's not uncommon to feel like you're driving in the summer and you need to remember that the speed mode is not the same for them, so as not to exceed it. The build quality is top-notch, but only time will tell about the studs. The most important thing about these tires, like the summer Adrenalin, is the very rigid sidewall with a rim, it's easy to bend and strongly stamp on a pothole, but the tires are intact. And the summer tire, with a sudden puncture, not RunFlat, was hard to notice as deflated when driving straight at high speed. Tire fitters said that usually after such an incident, the tire is ruined, but not these ones. No alternatives.

I haven't driven much on these tires, but at first glance, the tires are just super. There were the first snowdrifts in our provincial town, and they were real snowdrifts, the car handled stably without skidding and without ABS braking. BUT everyone should understand that no matter what tires you have, you need to drive CAREFULLY in any weather. Good roads to everyone and be careful.
