Are Blizzak tires only for winter?

No. Blizzak tires are not made to be used in all seasons. For safety and driveability, nothing beats a winter tire in the winter.

Do Blizzaks wear out fast?

We have personal experience on a wide range of vehicles from sports cars to SUVs. Our experience, and that of our customers, indicates that Blizzak winter tires will typically provide 12,000 to 15,000 miles of winter service before wearing out their Multicell tread compound.

Are Blizzak tires good on ice?

Just like in the cars, the Blizzak tires were able to grip the ice better and outrun the tricycles with all weather tires. In addition, because the all season tires aren’t being used during the winter, they will actually last longer staving off the purchase of new ones a bit longer.

How many miles do Bridgestone Blizzak tires last?

Typically that equals about 12,000-15,000 miles before the critical Multicell tread compound wears out. But, that’s the best and safest drive you can get and that really “safe time” lasts approximately 3 to 4 winter driving seasons.

What temperature is bad for winter tires?

At the end of the winter season, remember to remove your winter tires once the temperatures are consistently higher than 7 degrees Celsius. This will ensure your winter tires do not wear prematurely in warmer weather.

Are Blizzaks worth it?

You just need to decide which trade-off is worth it. Blizzaks are great tires, but like X20A mentioned, they are only good for about 50-60% of their tread life. The remaining tread is a harder all-season compound.

When should I replace my Blizzak tires?

Tread Depth and Winter Traction Tires are considered worn when they reach the wear bars at 2/32″ as seen on the Bridgestone Blizzak tire below. We recommend that winter / snow tires be replaced when they reach approximately 6/32″ of remaining tread depth.

How many years should tires last?

There is a general consensus that most tires should be inspected, if not replaced, at about six years and should be absolutely be swapped out after 10 years, regardless of how much tread they have left. How do you know how old your tires are?

At what temperature should I use winter tires?

The best time to install winter tires is based on outdoor temperature. Once the average daily temperature is consistently below 45 degrees Fahrenheit (or 7 degrees Celsius), it’s time to switch.

At what temperature should you remove snow tires?

You should remove winter tires once winter is done in your area. Of course, you cannot predict that last rogue snow storm, but consider removing winter tires when temperatures are consistently above 40° F.

What’s the difference between regular tires and snow tires?

Rubber Composition: Winter tires are made with a special rubber that works best in cold temperatures. The rubber is designed to stay soft and pliable when the weather cools so your tires can maintain adequate grip and traction. Regular tires do not. These grooves act as biting edges to grip the road in snow or ice.

How long do winter tires last on average?

Winter tires are made with rubber that retains its elasticity at lower temperatures, but that does not mean they will wear out more quickly than other tires. Manufacturers say winter tires should last six seasons.
