In 2018 I bought a new set of Blizzaks.

I drive to/from Whistler a lot and so I put these tires to the test and they were great.

Until last year, I felt the performance dropped a fair bit. I figured after 4 winters, they must be worn down. But actually I could see lots of tread left.

I read that it was most likely due to the multi-cell compound wearing down, leaving just the normal compound remaining. But my problem with that is the tires had very low mileage. The snow table wear indicator is still pretty good, and the dealership who did my recent service said they had 70% left. So I can't help but feel ripped off a bit.

Anyways, long story short, tomorrow I'm throwing them out and putting on a new set of X Ice Snows and excited to test them out this winter.
