Bridgestone 013652 Blizzak WS80 Winter Tire 245/45R17 99H

The Bridgestone Blizzak WS80 is engineered to deliver confident traction and control in winter's harshest conditions. This advanced winter tire combines innovative compound technology with an aggressive tread design to provide superior performance on snow, ice, and cold, dry pavement.

Advanced Winter Technology:

• Multicell Compound with Bite Particles: Microscopic bubble structures in the tread compound work to remove water from the contact patch while bite particles act like tiny studs, delivering exceptional grip on ice and confident braking performance
• Hydrophilic Coating: A specialized surface coating reacts to temperature and moisture conditions, enhancing traction on snow and ice for improved stopping power
• Nano Pro-Tech Technology: Advanced compound formulation remains flexible at the molecular level even in extreme cold, maintaining grip when temperatures drop

Optimized Tread Design:

• 3D Zigzag Sipes: Interlocking sipes create thousands of biting edges for enhanced snow and ice traction while maintaining block stiffness for responsive handling
• 20% More Block Edges: Compared to the previous generation WS70, the increased edge count delivers better handling in snow and slush conditions
• New Cavity Shape: Optimized internal construction distributes contact pressure evenly across the footprint for uniform wear and consistent performance on dry roads, ice, and snow throughout the tire's life

The Blizzak WS80 represents Bridgestone's commitment to winter safety, combining proven technologies to help drivers navigate confidently through winter's challenges.
