  • @pbmdh Sorry, but SparkDischarge is 100% correct. It has a 55/45% compound to enhance handling and durability.

  • Anyone know how these do on rwd cars? More specifically s2000?

  • ws70s ftw! while i'm cruising ahead of the suvs and their all seasons it just makes me glad i invested in a good set of tires.

  • @TheQuantoa Haha, me too. I love my Blizzak WS70. I have them on my scion tC. No problems what so ever, it's great having that extra comfort driving in snow or ice. :]

  • After 20+ years of driving, I had my first set of Blizzaks WS70 last year. I could do 360 on an icy parking lot 20 mph w/ no problems, droved 60 mph on the left lane by myself during last year Minnesota's worst blizzard icy road while other vehicles were going 35 mph in the middle and right lane. My uncle switch to the 4-season-tires every Spring and Blizzaks early Winter, and the Blizzaks are just like new. Don't drive them during the other seasons, you will ruin the treads much faster :}

  • @Fleuristic

    Costco has a great deal on Blizzaks right now. I just picked up a set yesterday for $468 installed after a $100 coupon.

    I just moved to AK and these are the first set of snow tires I've ever bought. These tires vastly exceeded my expectations. They seem like they have 2x as much traction as my all season tires on the snow and ice. It almost makes AWD or 4WD irrelevant.

  • @stonefiend77

    I have to agree. I have a Maxima with the Blizzaks and it climbs my steep snowy driveway as good as my 4x4 diesel truck with all season tires and stops in half the distance.

  • @goalkeepet I drive a BMW 328is, and was concerned about this as well. I moved from CA to CO and switched to these tires before crossing the continental divide (3 ft+ of snow). After all was plowed, I drove through the relentless blizzard, passed 5 accidents, and hit a section of uphill glare ice that subarus and 4x4's with all-season tires were having extreme difficulty with. They are like velcro.. Not bad on the dry, but of course I still prefer summer tire performance on dry pavement.

  • I wonder if is the same for a RWD car.

  • @pbmdh 55% of total tread depth has tube multicell. The bottom 45% is still winter compound, but without the enhanced ice traction.
