Exclamation Bridgestone Blizzak???

I'm looking to get some new tires for our 2007 IS350. We deal with a decent amount of snow here in Chicago, so I was looking at the Blizzak tires. MY question is what you all think of them and how do you like using them. ALSO, Should I just get them for the rear since its a RWD car, or all 4. I was thinking rear only and get another 2 for rear for the regular season.


All input would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!!

I love them I'm on my second set. First set I got 4 season out of them. I recommend doing all four helps with traction. I rather be safe then cheap and sorry.

Regardless of which winter tires you choose, the experts highly recommend buying four of them. It's especially important to heed this advice if your regular tires are summer performance rubber, rather than all seasons. Remember that the front tires are responsible for both steering the car and for the majority of the braking.

QFT.

The danger in winter driving is not getting stuck due to low traction on the drive wheels. Putting snow tires on just the rear end means you will be going faster WHEN you crash because you can't brake or turn.
