Bridgestone 8284 Blizzak IcePeak 235/50R18 101H XL Winter Tire

The Bridgestone Blizzak IcePeak 235/50R18 101H XL is Bridgestone's premium flagship studless winter tire, engineered to deliver advanced control on ice, snow, and wet winter roads. It replaces the Blizzak WS90 and Blizzak DM-V2 in Bridgestone's lineup, raising the standard for winter weather performance for sedans, minivans, CUVs, SUVs, and trucks.

The Blizzak IcePeak is the first Bridgestone tire to earn both the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) and Ice Grip certifications, confirming its capability in severe snow and on icy road surfaces. Incorporating Bridgestone's ENLITEN™ technology, the tire is engineered for use on gasoline, hybrid, and electric vehicles, delivering improved wear life and lower rolling resistance for better fuel efficiency.

Key Features:

• MultiCell™ Technology — Patented compound acts like a sponge, actively wicking away the microscopic water layer on glaze ice for enhanced braking and traction
• Full-Depth 3D Sipe Technology — Optimized sipe angles maximize biting edges throughout the tire's life for consistent snow and ice traction
• Micro-Grooves on Tread Surface — Help remove the thin water film on ice, improving grip in icy conditions
• Optimized Tread Block Design — Protrusions on leading edges reduce water intrusion and improve ice grip
• ENLITEN™ Technology — Reduces rolling resistance and extends tread life compared to previous generations
• Ice Grip Certified — Exceeds standardized braking performance requirements on icy surfaces
• 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) Certified — Meets severe snow service requirements
• Studless Design — Quiet and road-friendly without sacrificing winter traction

Available in 107 sizes from 14 to 22 inches, the Blizzak IcePeak covers 97% of the U.S. light-duty vehicle market. The 235/50R18 size features an XL (Extra Load) rating with a load index of 101 and an H speed rating, making it well-suited for a wide range of passenger vehicles and crossovers that demand confident all-weather winter control.
