Very good grip, handling and comfort, both on dry and wet.
Responsive enough when in need of pushing hard while overtaking - little difference vs. summer tires.
But what surprised me most, was the shockingly low noise inside the car, including at high speeds.
I barely hear them, even less than my old Turanza summer tires.
And of course, much better than Nokian WR-D4 winter they replaced.
Seems that the smoother curved lines of the tread pattern have their role in keeping tires quiet.
Very pleased with them, highly recommended.

I bought this tyre for my sporty coupe with keeping my country's weather in mind which is moderate winter with very few snowy days and quickly melting snow, so ice and snow was not a priority, yet I encountered heavy snow many times, and the tyre didn't fail, took me up in my steep drive way on first try all the three times I had snow on it, even proved itself against sleet. Great tyre, completely delete the wet road factor, however when its dry and not even that cold it shows its weakness, its not a sport tyre after all, keep that in mind. Wear seems good, but its too early to judge, noise is acceptable, on the same level of my summer sport tyres (GY Eagle F1 Assy.). At this point, I would buy the tyre again, I hope it will last long tho, because in Europe this tyre is very expensive and hard to find in good size.

I bought a new Taigo in 2/2022 and I bought a brand new Blizak LM 005. This is a 2nd winter season of this tyre. Yes, the tyre is good in wet, but the tyre is disaster when I am accelerating or when I am accelerating and turning from the side road.
Snow handling - disaster!

I am very disappointed. I have also Barum Polaris on Golf mk8 and the same road at the same weather - no issue.

This is my third winter of riding them and they are still absolutely brilliant. I live in an area in Germany with lots of hills and steep climbs and winters are 50% snow and 50% rain. Under these conditions the tires work absolutely perfectly and are always predictable. Especially compared to the Pirellis sottozero that I had before, the Bridgestone is the complete solution for sporty drivers in winter.

Good grip in the dry, considering it is a winter tyre. Awful grip in the wet, and wear rate is excessive. Noise is the worst of any tyre I have ever fitted; it is impossible to have a conversation with someone in the rear of the car without shouting, and noise gets progressively worse as speed increases. I'm surprised to read positive reviews of this tyre considering how poorly it performs overall. I'm not sure if I got a faulty batch but I will not buy Bridgestone tyres again. Will stick to Michelin or Yokohama in future.

First winter the tyres were good. The next one almost crashed twice. Almost no grip on snow and ice. Wet was acceptable, but still bad. For 3 winters (probably ~15000 km), already below 4mm tread. I'll never buy them again.

I run this tire on a Model Y Performance in 19' and occasionally drive the tire to the limit. On the wet this tire is excellent no mater what you demand from it, and I have to praise a very progressive transition to slip so the tire is very easy to drive on the limit. Snow handling is very good, but if you are for max traction there are better winter tires. On the dry the tire is just OK, and as a negative I have to mention a rather low grip under braking (cornering is OK). Comfort is OK, and although I use it on EV (no sound absorbing foam version) there are no strange sounds (howling at certain speeds) and sound levels are OK.

Great tyres, amazing grip in the wet and great grip in the dry. Very good in the snow until you get to about 5mm, then it's not good enough for the snow conditions where i live (good enough for most situations, wont get traction on steep hills anymore). After 3 years of driving (1 aggressive, 2 moderate years, 25k ish miles) the tyres have 4.2-4.8mm left. Am probably going to fit them this season and use them until the end of summer, havent decided on it yet tho.

I've driven these tyres for 3 winters now and I'm not as impressed as tyre reviewers should suggest.
On dry they have soft sidewalls, but somehow comfort is mediocre.
Steering feedback and road feel is non-existent, but it's to be expected of this size.
In the wet they are pretty good. In snow I'd say worse than Conti TS860 I had before.
Things have gotten progressively worse and these were unacceptable last year, their third season.

Very good tyre overall. I have only one minus for this tyres and that is that one of them after 30.000km became very loud, first i thought that my well bearing is bad but after changing to summer tyres noise was gone.

Worst winter tires i ever had. On snow/ice it is noticeably has worse grip compared to the previous tires i had. Car is like a cow on ice with these tires. Very disappointed, although tests show different story. .

I could only confirm the experience with these tyres made by some of the other reviewers. Namely, they only lasted for perhaps about 8000 km, basically two seasons. The first winter was quite OK, but for the 2nd winter it suddenly became just a totally different story. First off, I realized the tyres lost grip in the snow and ice quite substantially, albeit the were still relatively good/acceptable in the wet. Secondly, the Blizzaks developed a lot of "bald" spots on the tread, however I can't really recall it right now, whether it happened during the 1st winter season or right in the beginning of the 2nd. Basically, the tread seemed really worn out - as reported by some other reviewers here. Than, after that, I also noticed the compound just became hard as plastic and the outer layer of the (already) worn our tread started to come off in several places. Actually my summer tyres, Bridgestone Turanza, were much softer to the touch :)!

We live in the middle of Germany, on the northern side of Rennsteig, and we have our decent share of bad weather in winter every year with snow and ice, sometimes even with quite severe snowfalls. Therefore, the snow and ice grip is quite an important asset the tyre should be providing, but it was complete failure from the Blizzaks, in particular for the second season/winter. Those are definitely not for the true snowy conditions, much cheaper Fulda winters did a better job in the snow.

As I understood, this seems to be quite common with this tyre model, for example, there is a rather big discussion about the exact same issues on the German discussion board motor-talk and also on the German amazon with quite a few pictures/photos of these tyres having the same problems as I was. Mine were in the same production window, having the same production code and also made in Poland as those reported in amazon and motor-talk. Albeit some others reported the same problems with their tyres made in Turkey as well. So I don't know, probably it really is/was a bad batch or production failure. Anyway, I wont be buying these tyres anymore, for sure, neither can I get all this hype around them, it's just totally behind me. Seems like a gamble - they may work out nicely (made in France/Italy?) or just become garbage in less than 10K km (made in Poland or Turkey?), which should be nothing for a good tyre and non-sporty/normal driving style. I've changed them already to the allseasons Yokohama BluEarth-4s AW21, let's see how good these are, so far OK, in the dry and wet, will probably report on them later after the winter season.
