Bridgestone Blizzak LT Tire Review

Even commercial and light truck vehicles need to be equipped with winter tires. All season tires, even the tougher ones, are unable to securely function in severe winter conditions. As a result, there is also a demand for larger sized winter tires.

Here at Priority Tire, we offer a wide range of versatile light trucks tires suitable for winter conditions. One such model is Bridgestone’s Blizzak LT. This commercial van and light truck tire promotes excellent winter weather traction, great controllability and heavy duty performance, on top of a longer tread life to ensure a safer driving experience in harsh winter situations.

WINTER WEATHER PERFORMANCE

Winter tires utilize their tread design and winter compound to enhance the winter weather traction. They must guarantee the vehicle’s safer performance in severe winter weather situations. Winter tires branded with the three mountain peak and snowflake symbol ensure an exceptional winter performance.

The Blizzak LT combines its detailed tread design with the durable winter compound to increase the ice and snow and cold temperature traction. The high-density siping pattern enhances the grip on the road surface by increasing the number of biting edges gripping the road during the tire’s performance on ice- and snow-covered surfaces. The winter compound, on the other hand, keeps the rubber flexibility in colder temperatures, enabling the tire to improve the winter weather driving safety. 

The tread’s wider straight and zigzag circumferential grooves work together to avoid hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from the footprint, increasing the wet and slushy surface traction.

HANDLING AND CONTROLLABILITY

Handling and controllability

Tires are the only part of the vehicle that comes into contact with the road surface. Due to this, tires need to excellent surface contact to maintain the driver’s control over the vehicle throughout the drive.

The Blizzak LT increases the steering responsiveness and the driving stability with the optimal tread design’s stabilized elements. The constant surface contact increases the tire’s steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s commands, while it secures the driving stability under the driving and load pressure affecting the model. This combination enhances the driver’s control over the vehicle, even in severe winter weather.

The tread design also boosts the model’s maneuvering. The detailed siping pattern and the ideal tread block placement enhance the cornering and braking abilities. The shoulder tread block pattern boosts the number of biting edges gripping the road surface during maneuvering with additional biting edges, which enhances the cornering capability. 

The tread’s high-density siping detail manages to create friction between the tire and the road surface. This greatly decreases the braking distance and it makes the tire stop shorter. The better maneuvering offers a secure performing ability.

REINFORCED DURABILITY

Reinforced durability

Light truck and commercial van tires need added durability to withstand the heavy load pressure affecting them. Even under larger loads, they must maintain their ideal tire shape to securely perform throughout their lifetime.

The Blizzak LT features a reinforced internal structure. This construction features a stronger polyester and steel belt structure which work together to maintain the optimal tire shape under the load and driving pressure. As a result, the tire is able to carry and withstand heavy loads with ease, without allowing the tire to deform during its performance. The strengthened construction boosts the load capacity greatly and it guarantees a safer driving experience.

LONGER LASTING TREAD LIFE

Tires with a longer tread life are more desirable on the tire market. They are most cost-efficient in the long run, as they can be used for a longer period of time. Manufacturers utilize versatile tread designs to minimize a tire’s service life.

The Blizzak LT decreases the tread wear rate with the ideal tread pattern. The tread’s special tie bars secure the tread stability while the tires are in motion. The stable tread elements actively resist tread flexing, which creates unnecessary friction between the tire and the road surface. 

By minimizing the friction between the tire and the road and ensuring the tire’s constant surface contact with the flat footprint, the model manages to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking prevents irregular wear formations, which significantly lengthens the tread life and the model’s usability.
