Tyre reviews Bridgestone Blizzak VRX. Page 10 419

Excellent tires!!!

The tires were a success, having driven over 7000km on both highways and in the city, in snow, frost, and rain, without any problems, and the ABS engages extremely rarely. These are my first studded tires, as I previously always drove on spiked tires. I recommend purchasing them.

Tires made in Japan, at first, I didn't like them when I put them on, because it was mostly +7 degrees during the day and the rubber was constantly slipping (increasing the pressure didn't help). But as the days got colder, the rubber started to show itself. The grip on asphalt is decent, there's no strong skidding (it mostly grips quickly), but on rolled snow, it slips, not managing to grip. On ice, it behaves like a regular winter tire, without any particular praise or criticism. In the rain, it's a 3+, but it's not designed for speeding through puddles. Overall, for the money I paid (12.5? at the time of purchase), it's a decent tire from a reputable manufacturer, but you need to be careful and preferably think ahead when driving aggressively. For everyday driving, it's perfectly fine. The quality doesn't raise any questions.

We bought these tires with an acquaintance in August 2018. At that time, there were few reviews, so we took them at our own risk. In general, in the first year, they performed great, handled well both on ice and on clear roads, and weren't afraid of slush. After the first season, everything was fine. After the second season and approximately 12,000 kilometers of mileage, I noticed that the middle of the tread was wearing out more quickly, although the pressure was always according to the manual, and my acquaintance had the same problem. In general, at the moment, the fourth season of riding is coming to an end. And the middle, near the longitudinal strip, is already bald, although the edges are still thick. I always put them on in the snow because I drive on Geolander in the summer, and the first snow is not scary for it. In the summer, the wear is even, but here it's as if the wheels were worn out unevenly. In general, most likely, next year I will buy different tires. Although I must give credit, despite the bald spot in the middle, they still hold decently. My acquaintance has less mileage and says they will last for another season. The conclusion is that the tires are good, but for some reason, the middle wears out catastrophically quickly.

After studs, it's unusually quiet and unexpectedly good at holding the car, didn't expect that from a friction tire. They're good in slush, in wet snow and in loose fresh snow. On a wet road, they don't aquaplane and don't lose traction. On ice, they're a bit worse, but the car is still under control.

When starting on ice, they don't particularly concede to studded tires, the sides are strong, the tread is soft in any frost, and in the heat it doesn't spread. In snow and ice, the tire showed itself perfectly! Not once did I regret taking Bridgestone.

Tire without surprises, it performs its function clearly - where you need to drive, it drives, and where you need to stop, it stops. Suitable for both southern and northern regions of the country. It doesn't get stuck in the snow, cuts through wet slush, snow crumbs don't get stuck in the tread, very elastic and soft.

The tire is sturdy, not afraid of impacts, which is very relevant with our roads. Two seasons, 20 thousand kilometers of mileage, and no wear is noticeable. Dry asphalt, winter dirt roads, snowdrifts, packed snow - the tire has proven itself to be impeccable everywhere, snow doesn't get stuck in the tread. It doesn't get stuck in loose snow. It brakes so well that it's scary, in case someone catches up)

Very worthy tires! I took studded tires because I drive intercity and I was already tired of listening to the hum of studs, I don't drive off-road, and in the city and on the highway, good studded tires are no worse than non-studded ones, personally checked and tested. Plus, they last a long time and the weather or road conditions do not affect the traction characteristics.

I don't know what to write) thanks to mosavtoshina for the fast delivery, the Bridgestone is good, everything is as expected, installed and forgot, until summer. In the snow, they don't get stuck, on slush they don't slip, they cut through puddles. I haven't driven on open ice, but ice crust and morning frost are no problem for them. So take these tires, you won't regret it.
