Tire Description

The Blizzak WS60 is Bridgestone's Studless Ice and Snow winter tire developed for the drivers of coupes, sedans, minivans and crossover vehicles looking for traction on winter's slushy, snow-covered and icy roads. The Blizzak WS60 represents the third generation of Bridgestone WinterBiter tires designed to deliver wintertime traction and control that inspires driver confidence by getting the most out of the vehicle's potential. The Blizzak WS60 features a dual-compound tread with Bridgestone's silica-enhanced Tube Multicell compound layered on top of a standard winter compound. The Tube Multicell compound is comprised of thousands of microscopic tubes and cells (which resemble the consistency of Swiss cheese when examined through a microscope) that wick away the water that often forms between the tire's contact patch and the surface of snow-packed and icy roads. This flexible tread rubber compound improves the tire's grip, allowing the biting edges to adhere to the surface with less interference. The bite particles attached to the tubes of the Multicell compound with a special coating, bite into the surface of packed snow and ice to provide extra gripping action. The pores and tubes are uniformly distributed throughout the compound and are constantly being exposed around the tread as the tire wears. This unique tread compound is molded into a directional tread design that features independent tread blocks with 3-D zigzag sipes to disperse water away from the tire's contact patch, further enhancing grip. The result is enhanced hydroplaning resistance and greater driving and braking force on snow-covered and icy roads. Featuring Bridgestone's UNI-T Technology, the Blizzak WS60's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wound nylon to provide the desired high-speed durability and ride characteristics. When the Blizzak WS60 is 50-percent worn, a tread depth indicator molded into the tread design lets the driver know that only 10 percent of the remaining tread is the Tube Multicell compound. Install Bridgestone Blizzak WS60 tires in sets of four only.

Customer Reviews

After much research, we decided on these tires and love them. We live on a dirt road that varies from mud to unplowed snow measuring in feet and nothing has stopped these tires. This car is like nothing else in the snow and slush and with these tires it's like an unstoppable tank. We live in the Maine mtns and road conditions on my commute to work can vary from rain at home to sleet and ice on the way and snow at the mtn I work at, and these tires NEVER hinted at a lack of traction. In the dry, they made slightly more noise than the stock tires, but nothing to even be concerned with. The cornering was again, slightly less tight than the stock tires but they never felt unstable or made me think twice about them. Buy these tires, they wear VERY well and have been VERY fun to drive on.
