From the review scores and customer feedback we've collected, the Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 is definitely a top-performing winter tire. With excellent dry and wet traction, good snow handling and decent ice traction, this tire provides a high level of driving confidence in all winter weather conditions. The Blizzak LM-32 also delivers a comfortable and quiet ride, with good tread life.

Overall, we highly recommend the Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 as a top-performing winter tire option.

In the past, I never used snow tires and opted for all weather tires instead. This year, I decided to invest in a set of four actual snow tires for my all wheel drive Tesla S. They fit comfortably on my 19" wheels and will be switched out for my 21" summer tires once the weather gets warmer. I was pleasantly surprised that the snow tires were quieter than my OEM summer tires which had foam insulation. The snow traction was amazing and it felt like my car was a tank.

These tires are perfect for driving in the snow. I wouldn't even consider switching back to all season tires during the winter months after getting these. They really make a huge difference.

These winter tires are just what we needed for the season. They're on three of our vehicles and we couldn't be happier.
