Bridgestone Blizzak MZ-03 RFT

The IceGripper

The Blizzak MZ-03 RFT (Run-Flat) is Bridgestone's Studless Winter tire designed to provide temporary self-supporting run-flat continuing mobility in the case of complete air loss due to a puncture during winter driving exclusively for Lexus SC430 convertibles equipped with optional low-profile, run-flat tires. Blizzak MZ-03 RFT (Run-Flat) Studless Winter tires allow Lexus SC430 drivers to maintain their vehicle's sporty appearance and mobility while providing traction in snow and on ice.

Blizzak MZ-03 RFT winter radials feature a directional tread design split by a wide circumferential center groove to help maintain good traction on wet and slush-covered roads while its zigzag sipes and independent tread blocks provide the edges to help bite through snow. It also features Bridgestone's Link Multicell Compound which is glass fiber-reinforced to enhance vehicle stability on dry roads while it helps disperse water to reduce the risk of slipping on the thin surface film of water that makes ice so dangerous. This allows Blizzak MZ-03 RFT winter radials to approach the traction provided by a studded tire on ice...without the use of studs.

NOTE: The first 55% of the Blizzak MZ-03 tread depth features the Link Multicell Compound while the remaining 45% features a standard winter tire compound.

Bridgestone's Ultimate Network of Intelligent Tire Technology (UNI-T) brings advanced tire technologies together, taking tire performance to a new level. This combination of innovative tire design, roundness and tread compound maximizes the tire's performance, ride quality and wear.

Blizzak MZ-03 RFT winter radials meet the industry's severe snow service requirements and are branded with the snowflake-on-the-mountain symbol.

NOTE: Snow platform indicators (the equivalent of snow wear bars) are molded into the Blizzak MZ-03 RFT's tread grooves to inform the driver when ice and snow traction will be reduced as the tire's tread wear reaches the point where the remaining tread depth becomes less effective in deep snow.

–Install Bridgestone Blizzak MZ-03 RFT tires in sets of four only.

Due to the revolutionary traction capabilities of the Blizzak, Bridgestone recommends using Blizzaks only in sets of four to provide the best handling characteristics and tire performance.
