Bridgestone Blizzak WS50 185/65 R14 86Q

The Bridgestone Blizzak WS50 non-studded winter tire is designed for use on passenger cars of various classes. This model features a sufficiently wide range of sizes, from 155/80R13 to 235/55R18, which allows it to be perfectly applicable to most modern passenger car models.

Since the tire is designed for operation in harsh winter conditions, which are characterized by various road surface characteristics, the company's specialists preferred to equip the tread with an asymmetric pattern, which demonstrates excellent efficiency in any conditions.

The Bridgestone Blizzak WS50 tire tread consists of a large number of quadrangular blocks grouped into six longitudinal ribs. This arrangement has made it possible to achieve excellent directional stability, as well as excellent acceleration and braking efficiency, since the contact patch always has a large number of sharp edges at its disposal. At the same time, all tread blocks are equipped with three-dimensional edges that effectively penetrate even compacted snow, which significantly improves traction and handling characteristics on this type of surface.

One of the key features of this model is the use of the Tube MultiCell Compound technology in its design. This term hides an innovative rubber compound that, thanks to special components, has a porous structure. As a result, the rubber compound has excellent abilities to absorb water from the contact patch, allowing the numerous lamella edges to more effectively grip the icy surface.
