We have Bridgestone Blizzaks on my Subaru Outback between November and April. I took it for a test when I first got them up in the gamelands around Sandy Ridge and was blown away by how well they worked. I also keep chains in the car (Auto-Trac from Walmart, about $90/pair).

I ordered them from Tire Rack pre-mounted on rims so I can change them out myself each season. No complaints so far.

Were neighbors well almost .Everyone loves Blizzaks there is a set on market place for 200.00 that are the right size and in real good shape used 1 season that are the right size. 132 miles away though so they will get got by someone else. Thanks for your reply .

Question. Other than storing the tires is there anything else you have to do when not using them. About how many years are they good for when only using in winter. Thank you. I keep considering this for my expedition.

I’ve heard 6 or 7 years max- even if the tread is still good they start getting brittle. Mine are on their 3rd or 4th winter and still look great. Be sure to give them a rinse to get the salt off before storing them somewhere dry.
