Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 245/70R17, Winter, Touring tires.

Features and Benefits: Winter weather traction; Longer lasting usability; Enhanced controllability; Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 TiresThe Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model guarantees excellent winter weather traction, by utilizing the NanoPro-Tech compound with the multicell rubber materials and the high-density siping placement across the tread area. This combination enables the tire to greatly boost the grip on the road surface with the use of extra biting edges. Durable compound elements allow the tire to enhance the rubber flexibility in freezing temperatures. Circumferential and lateral grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint, effectively avoiding hydroplaning in the process. A longer lasting tread life is guaranteed. The flat footprint ensures a close road contact, allowing the tire to evenly circulate the driving pressure across the tread area. In this manner, the tire effectively avoids irregular and premature wear formations, greatly boosting the overall service life. The tread also features tread wear indicators. They visually show when the tread is worn out and no longer safe to use. This combination guarantees a safer and lengthened usability. The Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 boosts its excellent controllability as well. The optimal block placement helps to improve the surface contact, which enhances the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The winter compound and the tread design work together to generate friction at the moment of braking, decreasing the overall braking distance. As a result, the tire helps to increase the model's handling by guaranteeing the driver's better control over the vehicle. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
