Hi All
I have Civic 2005 automatic and I live in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada and because of heavy snow here I have a plan to buy Winter tires but used one and one of the person is selling Bridge stone tires and it looks like that tires conditions are also good . My question is that should I go for Bridge stone Winter tires or not? Your guidance will be highly appreciated.

In addition, I have a clear images for tires and if someone is willing to see these tires pictures and let me know about its conditions then I really appreciate it. Thanks

When I had a set of Blizzak tires, they were GREAT brand new.....Then after about the 3rd season (probably less than 10k on them) they were about the same traction as any other snow tire. Bleh.


You may be better off with brand new.

TBH, the tires are actually designed that way. half way their tread depth, they change to different compound, aimed at people that wears them in one season, so the final part of the tires (40%) are for less snowy conditions, close to the springtime.

"The Blizzak WS60 features a dual-compound tread with Bridgestone's silica-enhanced Tube Multicell compound layered on top of a standard winter compound.... The pores and tubes are uniformly distributed throughout the compound and are constantly being exposed around the tread as the tire wears.

When the Blizzak WS60 is 50-percent worn, a tread depth indicator molded into the tread design lets the driver know that only 10 percent of the remaining tread is the Tube Multicell compound."
