Bought DM-V2 for 17 rav4 and had to beach the car on snow to get stuck. Tried a friend’s car with Michelin X-ice and it felt like a budget tire compared to the Bridgestones. Very slippery on the wet dry and snow compared to the Bridgestones. Made X-ice sound
extremely overhyped. DM-V2 is everything you expect from a premium winter tire. Very soft ride, decent wet and dry grip, but I doubt there is better on the snow. Struggles to spin the wheels in snow with traction control off, and only slipped on wet black ice. I drive up steep snow hills when I’m bored just for fun but that gets boring too because it just climbs up like any other day
