Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2

Tires for the Winter: Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2

Bridgestone's Blizzak DM-V2 is a tire designed for the harsh winter months. The Blizzak DM-V2 is built considering factors such as ice traction, braking in mind, wet road handling, and hydroplaning resistance. This tire has a directed tread pattern with a zigzag 3D contour that improves wet handling and anti-slip performance. It also comes Wear indicators that enables the driver to measure how evenly the tread is being worn down. Thanks to the enhanced traction control, noise is reduced to a level where the passengers cannot hear it, resulting in a quiet and smooth passenger experience. The DM V2 is a winter tire designed for crossovers, SUVs, and trucks.

The Blizzak DM-V2 tires are made using Bridgestone's adaptable NanoPro Tech Multicell compound, which has a water-loving hydrophilic layer with small biting particles. The Multicell material remains flexible in subfreezing temperatures, wicks water off packed snow and ice, and the biting particles aid braking on glare ice. This compound is molded into a directed tread design with more block edges, circumferential and lateral grooves to channel water, slush, and snow away from the contact region. The 3D zigzag sipes enhance the number of snow biting edges. These tires come in sizes ranging from 15 to 22 inches in wheel diameter and are manufactured in Europe.
