Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Winter weather traction
- Improved controllability
- Upgraded service life
OVERVIEW
The Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50 is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles.
The model provides great winter-weather traction. In this manner, this optimal tread design and the large elements strongly grip the road surface with extra biting edges. This enables the tire's performance on ice- and snow-covered roads. At the same time, the winter compound keeps the rubber pliable in freezing temperatures. Large circumferential grooves help the tire to prevent hydroplaning. They eliminate water and slush from the footprint, protecting the tire from slipping in wet situations.
The ribbed tread pattern's continuous road contact boosts overall controllability. The tire can safely perform, offering excellent steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, this increases the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. Also, the large elements and their surface contact upgrade the cornering ability. The siping detail also shortens the braking distance, by creating friction.
The Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50 lengthens its service life. The ribbed tread pattern evenly distributes driving pressure along the tread area. On the other hand, this durable rubber compound decreases the treadwear rate significantly. As a result, these elements prevent irregular and premature wear formations, which leads to longer-lasting tread life.
