doublel: thanks for posting that quote from a Swedish newspaper but I`ve have different results with a similar incident.
There are many deer in my area, especially in the East Amherst / Williamsville suburbs of Buffalo as urban sprawl spreads into undeveloped areas.
I had to perform a quick `n desperate left-right-left to avoid a deer (the "moose test") last year on 60 series Blizzak`s & I didn`t notice any ill handling characteristics on dry pavement. Speed was approx. 30 - 35 mph on a 4 lane highway with drainage ditches.
I`m using 4 Blizzak`s on an Accord (front wheel drive) & I`d be curious to know which vehicle with Blizzaks (just on the drive wheels? on all four corners? front wheel or rear wheel drive?) were on to report them as being "unsafe on dry pavement".
I doubt the DOT would allow them to be sold & Consumer Report would condemn the tires to the point of running them out of the market.
