It almost seemed that All-Season tires were going to become the
answer for winter driving in America. Their promise of instant
adaptability from one season to another combined with the popularity
of vehicles equipped with easier to drive front-wheel, or four-wheel
drive systems helped make the All-Season tire's traction level
acceptable in light snow conditions. Then Bridgestone introduced a
new type of winter tire, which in addition to its exceptional snow
traction could even come close to equaling the ice traction of
studded tires...without the studs. And by establishing a higher
benchmark for dedicated winter tires, the Blizzak's exceptional snow
& ice traction revealed the inherent compromises of All-Season
tires. Today, the Blizzak WS-50 represents the second generation of
Bridgestone's WinterBiter tires. So if you want to maximize all of
your vehicle's winter capabilities, the Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50
will help provide the snow & ice traction you need.
The Blizzak WS-50 in 80-, 75-, 70-, 65 & 60-series features a
symmetric tread design while its lower profile & typically wider
55-, 50- & 45-seried sized tires feature a directional tread
design. Both of these tread designs use flow-through grooves to help
maintain good traction on wet & slush-covered roads while their
zig-zag sipes & independent tread blocks provide the edges to help
bite through snow. The Blizzak WS-50 also features Bridgestone's
Tube Multicell Compound, which helps disperse water to reduce the
risk of slipping on the thin surface film of water that makes ice so
dangerous.
NOTE: The first 55% of the Blizzak WS-50 tread depth features the
Tube Multicell Compound while the remaining 45% features a standard
winter tire compound.
The Blizzak WS-50 meets the industry's severe snow service
requirements & is branded with the snowflake-on-the-mountain
symbol. It features blackwall styling & is available in 80-, 75-,
70-, 65, 60-, 55-, 50- & 45-series, Q-speed rated sizes for 13" to
17" wheel diameters.
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 & tread compound maximize the tire's performance, ride
quality & wear.
