Bought and never regretted, super tires. I live in the south of the country, the winter is mostly dry, but there is snow, which melts quickly and turns everything into ice at night. The handle is excellent, the sidewalls are strong, the tread is deep. Over the winter drove them 10 thousand. I didn’t notice any wear and all the spikes were in place, although I drove mostly on dry pavement. The disadvantages include only noise and increased fuel consumption, but safety compensates for this. Quality Noisiness use Bridgestone Blizzak Spike-02 205/55 R16 91T more than year |
Before this, I rode on Velcro all my life, so there’s nothing to compare studded tires with, I’ll immediately note a strong hum, according to reviews they write that after the first hundred it will become quieter - we’ll see. After I put on the shoes, it rained on the first evening and the road froze overnight; when driving calmly in icy conditions, the tires run like on regular asphalt. The tread is deep, the tires themselves are good, the sidewalls are hard. I was afraid that there would be a long braking distance on asphalt, but I didn’t notice any difference with regular Velcro.

The Bridgestone Blizzak Spike-02 spikes are one of the best spiked models in the Japanese tyre manufacturer's fleet. The main emphasis in it is placed on improved traction and braking characteristics on icy surfaces and high cross-country ability in snow.
Secure fit
The problem of the first generation of the tyre was the falling studs, which affected the loss of driving performance and led to premature wear of the tread. From now on, the expanded oval flanges provide a secure fit of the steel “claws”. The studs in the tread are oriented in such a way that the engagement area is as wide as possible, including by reducing voids when the "teeth" come into contact with the road surface.
V-shaped design
The central part of the tread pattern of the tyre is made in a classic V-shaped design. It contains many blocks, the edges of which form multidirectional coupling edges. In fact, such a format of the tread structure acts as a guarantor of high snow flotation and quick self-cleaning of the lamellas, which divert snow porridge directly from the anti-skid studs.
Rubber compound
The updated recipe for the preparation of the rubber compound allows the tyre to maintain elasticity even in the most persistent frosts. And the reinforced sidewall design prevents tyre damage in the urban rhythm of operation (for example, when hitting a curb hidden under a layer of snow). Another weighty argument in favor of the model is the long mileage of the tyre. So its purchase will be a profitable investment in safety for several winter seasons in a row.
