Guys anyone who has blizzaks please chime in.

Is anyone else having ridiculous traction control issues on dry surfaces? Its 55 out I have then on still because it snowed two days ago and will snow in a few days so winter is not over.

But this is ridiculous. Going around turns, bumps, acceleration in 3rd and traction control I freaking out!

I give up. Hahha

I am driving in the same cold/warm variable conditions with Blizzaks and have not had any problems.

Something must be up then.

I have had an alignment done and its all fine. Had the alignments indexed and they havent moved.

I can be going on the highway and in 3rd just rip the tires and have traction control beam in. Not really sure what the hell is going on.

I've had this happen too, but more so when I'm hitting the gas a little too hard.

Car def handles different in corners with the snows on, figured that out driving home after having them put on and have to go slower as the whole car feels "loose".

Weather has been great here for the past couple of weeks, hard not to to get her going.

I remember reading somewhere that the Blizzaks had a bit more tread squirm than some other winter tires, but any winter rubber will be softer than the summer tires.

I definitely drive slow on my Blizzaks trying to make them last. I don't hit the throttle hard or go fast around corners with them so maybe thats why dont have issues.

This is exactly what I meant. Thanks for Clarifying it for me.

I had a sneaky suspicion that it was just the blizzaks but I was not sure.

Its been crazy weather here in cincy. 4 days ago there was an inch of snow on the ground the next day it was 55 to 60 , yesterday 20 and it snowed - Tonight 18 degrees and supposed to snow then on Monday its gonna hit 65.

I am going to keep them on for a little while until I finally figure what the hell is going on!
