What can you tell me about Saxon winter tires called snowblazers?

Editorial Comment: Saxon Snowblazers seem to be a private brand of tire sold in Canada principaly by La Cie Canada Tire Inc.

They are manufactured in the US by , Eldorado Tire was established in Michigan in 1966 by Kelly Calamari, as a member-owned private brand tire company.

In 1970, The Cooper Tire and Rubber Company became the exclusive manufacturer of Eldorado Tires and in 1995 Treadways Corporation became the owner of the company.

Excellent
by: Rod R

Have these Saxon winter tires on our SUV for the second winter in Calgary AB.
These tires scare the crap out of me. Okay my wife driving with these tires scares the crap out of me. The tires' excellent grip for starting, stopping and in curves is good that my wife is way too confident (my opinion) in icy conditions and snow and it scars the crap out of me.
Okay, I'm sixtyish, used to driving three quarter tons pulling stock trailers, where you don't do anything fast or sharp.
It was the same when I bought my first car with disc brakes and scared my uncle (a truck driver) who thought I was going to go through that stop sign.
I'm looking for another set of Saxon Snowblazer tires for next year.

Editorial Comment:

While I am pleased that you've shared your good experience with Saxon Snowblazers with us, I sincerely hope you can convince your wife to drive with more caution in winter conditions. Accident statistics have shown that over confidence in the handling conditions of a vehicle leads to an increased risk of damage when uncontrollable situations unexpectedly occur.

In the case of winter conditions, just because a tire might produce excellent results in snow, it will not offer any better capability to stop or maintain control if you encounter a patch of black-ice, which I'm sure you realize, is virtually impossible to see in itself, but if it is covered with a light skiff of snow, you're really in trouble.

Good tire for New Brunswick winters
by: James m

We Have a 2006 Santa Fe and the Tire size is 225/70/16. We were looking for a good quality winter tire and the garage we were at had in stock the Saxon Snowblazer.

The price was right about $130.00 bucks a piece so we said lets try them. They are great in all kinds of snow powder,slush,ice, Good starting and good braking.

We went out and purchased a set for other car. Great tire for the price can't complain so far.
