Anyone using BLIZZAK DM-V2 225/55R19 99T BW WINTER TIRE on their CX-5? I live in Metro Atlanta area, these tires specifically says "winter". Do you guys recommend this? Thanks for any inputs.

Are you asking about using it all year round? If so the answer is "you can, but you should not" - winter tires are formulated for winter weather and temps. They will work fine on dry pavement, but the summer heat will likely damage them and they would be worthless in the winter - not that Atlanta really has a winter.

Blizzak in Atlanta would be a waste of money IMO.

Good article on Blizzak here (and video)

Totally agree with alphadog00, and you don't really need winter or snow tires in Atlanta just like we don't need them here in Dallas. If you need a new set of 225/55R19 tires, look for a good all-season tire from the table here:

Waste of money if you are in Atlanta. You'll be fine with a good all-season.
