High on performance, low on noise. Designed with Bridgestone's latest simulation technology to give more powerful cars high-level balanced performance on frozen surfaces, wet and dry, all with an absolute minimum of noise. Better traction and handling on snow and wet with reduced risk of hydroplaning due to improved water evacuation of computer-simulated tread design and high silica content: lens shaped blocks with honeycomb sipes, special sipes on shoulder blocks.
Long wear life with resistance to irregular wear on shoulder and centre
Extremely quiet giving more ride comfort and less pass-by noise
Attractive sidewall design enhances appearance of car
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.

19.04.2015fromneville herron Excellent in ice snow slush mud grass and water logged stability in flooded roads ace and handling bumpy roads great first class
10.05.2014fromJonah Following two quite severe winters here in the UK I thought buying a 350Z would almost definitely warrant a full set of winters. Unfortunately, last winter was quite mild and wet with very little snow :( Almost not worth getting the Blizzaks! But that said, they performed brilliantly in the wet and the few light sprinklings of snow we had. Plus I know they outperform summer tires at anything below 7 degrees C.
Generally the Blizzaks have served me well with loads of tread left for next winter (fingers crossed for snow this time!). I don't have experience to compare these to anything else but when I wanted to drive a muddy field - they worked well and when I want to send the car sideways from the lights - they worked well. The warm weather is here now and they’ll be changed next week as accelerating hard creates a very interesting squirmy, rubber chewing sound. Hmmm.... they’re definitely not 300bhp proof summer tires!
I know there are more up to date versions but don't hesitate purchasing a set for next winter. ;)
03.01.2014fromNeville Herron Noticed big difference from other tyres better noise level, better handling, does not wander about in ruts on motorway,rides better over speed cushions and bumps.does not judder on sharp turns and eye to hand co ordination for steering brilliant, far superior to the continenatal and go faster bridgestoens i have have on before,
30.09.2010fromMihael After 80.000km all season 3 year (-10 to +40 deg!) still have good 3mm+. When new, not as good on dry, and average on wet (Sportiva SnowWin is way better in all but wear). With wear (of course) handling on dry is improving. It is wery wear-resistant tyre with still good grip on wet (maybe even better compared to new). Aquaplaning become problem of course at 3mm if too much water on highway. Driven mostly at 90-110km/h all period.
