Thumbs up Love my Blizzaks

Ordered them from Tirerack in the stock size (185/55R16) and I am using the stock sport rims with the original TPMS sensors.

Today we finally got an inch or so of snow and I got to try them out.

They were so good on my unplowed road and I felt safe and secure.

When there wasn't any snow they seemed bouncier than the stock dunlops, but not the piston way the Dunlops bounce, more of off-roader floaty bounce.

I have blizzaks on my Fit and love them. We had a big snow storm here in Minnesota last weekend. My car was able to keep going on poorly plowed roads and about a half foot or so of snow. With a good set of snow tires the Fit really does a good job in the snow

I too live in Minnesota. I forget how TERRIBLE this car handles in snow with the stock tires. I have to start in 2nd gear just to get going. I was stuck in 3-4 inches (with underlying ice) just at the end of my street. My 06 Civic Hybrid had mountain goat-like traction in comparison with its stock tires. I am hoping to get some snow tires, or at least upgraded all-season tires soon.
