Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 Tires
The Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs.
The tire improves the winter weather performance. The high-density siping placement and block edge pattern of the directional tread design upgrade the grip on the road surface with extra biting edges. The Multi-Cell compound optimizes the flexibility in freezing winter weather temperatures with the stronger silica rubber materials. The tread’s circumferential and lateral grooves, along with the notch pattern, work together to boost the water and slush dispersing ability. They prevent hydroplaning when driving in wet situations. This combination allows the tire to upgrade the severe winter weather grip, without using studs, which has earned the tire its three mountain peak and snowflake designation.
The tread design manages to lengthen the service life. The tread pattern’s better road contact stabilizes the tread blocks and prevents tread flexing. As a result, the tire effectively prevents irregular and premature wear formations, as the footprint enables the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking actively increase the usability. On the other hand, the tread sports snow platforms. They visually represent when the wear of the tire and show when the Multi-Cell compound is about to wear out. With the Multi-Cell compound wearing out, the tire loses its winter traction. In this manner, the tread ensures that the worn out tires are changed.
The Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 upgrades the controllability and maneuvering as well. The tread’s flat footprint and the continuous center rib work together to maintain the surface contact at all times. As a result, these tires enhance the steering responsiveness and the driving stability, improving the driver’s better control over the vehicle. The stabilized shoulder block placement enhances the cornering ability. They provide additional biting edges to grip the road surface during maneuvering. The high-density siping placement also increases the braking power. They create friction between the tire and the road surface. In this manner, the tire is able to significantly shorten the braking distance. This ensures the driver’s better control over the vehicle in harsh winter conditions.
