Yes. I have them and I won't drive without them. Mine are considerably more expensive than $130 a tire but I will not go through a winter without them. Putting Blizzaks on a regular car makes it more capable in the snow and ice than the best 4 wheeler out there on regular tires.
Many years ago my wife hit a patch of ice and spun around, fortunately not hitting anything. She came home demanding we get a 4 wheel drive vehicle. I had just hear how you should try snow tires before going to a 4WD vehicle, and new tires sure cost a lot less than a new Jeep, so I tried it for my wife, hoping she'd be satisfied. The first morning she drove with them on she called me at work and said that they made such a difference I had to have a set too. I thought it was the stupidest waste of money but she insisted. After I put mine on I understood what she meant. We have been evangelists for Blizzacks ever since.
We started out with them on front wheel drive Toyotas and Mazdas. We now have all wheel drive cars and a Ford Explorer. Our AWD cars with Blizzaks are better on the snow and ice than the Explorer, even with Blizzaks. I can't tell you how many times they've saved me from an accident.
