Blizzak DM-V1 Awesome in the snow!!!

Just took the MO on a long trip with the Bridgestone Blizzaks DM-V1's in the snow and ice. These winter tires are great ...running highway speeds up to 50 with other cars spinning off the road at times (mainly poor driving with inadequate tires I presume). At the resort, there is a very steep hill up to the condo and even some AWD vehicles with regular all-seasons could not make it up the snow an ice covered road. The MO engaged the AWD going up absolutely seamlessly (no thunk) and made it no problems (never had to switch on the AWD lock). Love the AWD and Blizzak combo. Stopping on ice still engaged the ABS, but stops were uneventful and straight. We have blizzard raging outside now and can't wait to get out and drive again
