Bridgestone Blizzak LT

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Winter weather traction
• Enhanced controllability
• Longer lasting tread life

OVERVIEW

The Bridgestone Blizzak LT is a highway terrain, winter tire manufactured for commercial vans and light trucks.

The tire ensures excellent winter weather traction. The symmetric ribbed pattern with the high-density siping pattern and the winter compound work together to boost the tire's grip on the road surface in colder temperature conditions. The tread elements increase the number of biting edges gripping the ice- and snow-covered road surface throughout the tire's performance. The compound maintains its flexibility in winter weather situations and the tire remains pliable in colder temperatures. The two straight and one zigzag circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by channeling water and slush from the footprint. They upgrade the winter weather performance and guarantee a safer driving experience.

The model's controllability in winter weather is also improved. The tread elements are secured with the special tie-bars that optimize the tread stability and increase the tire's contact with the road surface. The better road contact upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability significantly. This allows the tire to become faster and more precise in its steering responsiveness and it stabilizes the structure against the driving pressure affecting the model. The high-siping density also increases the braking ability. The tread's optimal pattern creates friction between the tire and the road surface which boosts the shortens the braking distance significantly.

The Blizzak LT offers a lengthened tread life and durability. The tie bars that stabilize the tread elements actively prevent tread flexing. This allows the tire's ideal road contact to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The even distribution of the driving force avoids the formation of uneven tread wear which boosts the length of the tread life. The reinforced polyester and steel belt construction strengthens the tire against the load and driving pressure. This structure prevents the tire from deforming under the load pressure affecting the model, increasing the load carrying capability and power.
