The Bridgestone Blizzak WS80 is aimed at passenger car drivers who want to be certain that whatever challenges winter brings will be easily overcome. The worse the driving conditions, the more confident and capable the latest tyres in the Blizzak series prove to be.
In this series Bridgestone has applied its best and most advanced technologies, such as the next-generation NanoPro-Tech multi-cell rubber compound, distinguished by an exceptionally effective water-displacement action and countless microscopic particles that create impeccable grip on snow and ice. This combination makes the tyre remarkably versatile — safe on wet as well as icy roads.
The increased number and density of tread blocks (compared with the previous model) further improve the tyre's ability to move through snow. Wide longitudinal grooves and numerous grooves angled towards the shoulders quickly and reliably evacuate excess water and slush, keeping the car firmly under control, while the 3D zigzag sipes take care of traction on snow.
The tread pattern of the Blizzak WS80 has been optimised to sit as evenly as possible on the road surface, so that evenly distributed forces provide better overall stability in any driving conditions.
