Winter Tire Driving in Snowy Winter Conditions

Blizzak W965

Winter-specific rubber compounds keep their corresponding tires flexible in cold conditions (in temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit). Fortunately, the Bridgestone Blizzak W965 features a patented Multicell rubber compound that, in addition to the above, removes the layer of surface water to enhance traction on ice-covered roads. It also prevents uneven wear, ensuring that the tire lasts longer. The Uni-T technology and special tread blocks of the Blizzak W965 help deliver excellent traction and performance. You can expect tremendous ice traction here, thanks to zigzag sipes and tread blocks. There are extra sipes within the tread for increasing grip, especially in harsh snow. Considering that the W965 is designed for commercial vehicles, a 10-ply rating enables them to withstand heavy load capacities without losing shape or performance. The W965 is suitable for use on vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, Ford F-150, GMC Sierra 1500, and Chevrolet Express 2500.
