Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 Tire Review
Winter Tire By Tabitha The Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 is designed to make cars more resistant to various winter and road conditions, providing drivers with a renewed sense of comfort and security. The tire is able to do so, thanks to its advanced, dual-compound tread that combines the regular tread compound with the Nano ProTech, silica-enhanced Multicell Compound. This new design gives the tire millions of microscopic tubes highly reminiscent of Swiss cheese, which allows it to resist hydroplaning with ease and improve its overall performance in wet, snow, and ice. The Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 utilizes a directional tread pattern with 3D zigzag sipes, wider tread blocks, and four, deep grooves. The 3D sipes enhance its dry performance while maintaining strong traction for wet and icy roads. On the other hand, the optimized tread width and deep-tread grooves help the tire channel water, slush, and snow away from the contact area as well as enhance its breaking power on snow and ice. The tire also features Bridgestone’s UNI-T technology, which increases its durability despite rough driving. This technology also improves handling, fuel efficiency, and overall ride quality. The Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 is available in a wide array of sizes. This tire’s width ranges from 175-245mm. while its rim diameter ranges from 15”-18”. Given the available specifications, this tire is most suitable for small to mid-range cars such as coupe, sedans, crossover vehicles, and minivans. This snow radial passes the industry’s severe snow requirements with flying colors and is, thus, branded with the mountain/snowflake symbol. Its MSRP starts at roughly $92 and varies based on your preferred size and vendor. Tire Test Results The Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 claims that it will “get you to your destination-regardless of the weather forecast.” However, is it able to deliver its promise or are those simply empty words?
