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
EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.

19.04.2015 from neville herron Excellent in ice snow slush mud grass and water logged stability in flooded roads ace and handling bumpy roads great first class
10.05.2014 from Jonah 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. ;)
03.01.2014 from Neville 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,
30.09.2010 from Mihael 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.
