Bridgestone BLIZZAK DM-V2 Winter Radial Tire - 235/55R18 100T Improved performance on ice: The Blizzak DM-V2 tire is designed with a next-generation Multi-Cell compound from Bridgestone that dispels water from the surface of the ice. This combats slippage and improves braking Increased traction: The tires newly designed tread pattern has 15 percent more block edges, increasing its snow-shearing force and enabling it to grip the road better in snow and slush Better handling: Bridgestone enhanced the Blizzak DM-V2 tires contact patch to create a uniform dispersion of pressure where the tire meets the road. This gives the Blizzak DM-V2 tire improved grip on ice and better overall stability
