Bridgestone Blizzak snow tires. Are they any good?
so im going to be driving my mustang in the winter and im looking to get some bridgestone blizzak tires. does anyone have any experience with them/? are they really good tires? do you get around better with these tires as you would with a front wheel drive car?
any clue on how much im going to be spending because i need 4 tires and 4 rims.
also with these tires is it unlikely i will get stuck in the snow?

Blizzaks are in my opinion the best ice traction(nonstudded) winter tire. they grip great but you can not use them all year round. they are spendy but if they save you one incident well then they pay for themselves very fast.

Their really good tires, never used them on a stang, but they are a soild snow tire, not going to do sh-t unless you drop at least 400-500 pounds in your rear, if you get snow on your rounds uplowed its still not going anywhere, just the nature of the beast, good for freshley plowed roads with drifts though, jsut dont execpt to plow thru 3 inches of snow with any stang.............
The Blizzaks are some of the best snow tires. Any dedicated snow tire will perform better in the snow than an all season.
As far as the F1 all seasons, nice tire, a little noisy. But noise in tires is usually not a stang owners concern, lol. On a budget I would choose the new Eagle Gt.
Bridgestone Blizzaks are really good winter tires. I have used them for the past three winters on my Mustang, and am planning to do so this winter also. Sometimes the tires alone are not enough, so I suggest putting at least 75-100 pounds of sand bags in the trunk to give you extra traction. I find that once you are going the Mustang is surprisingly good in the snow, which we get a ton of the mountains of NH. It took me less than 20 minutes to dig out of the snow and get on the road from the snowstorm in this picture. The one problem with the Blizzaks (and probably most other winter tires) is that they handle horribly once the temperature is in the 40's.
