Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 Studless-Winter Radial Tire - 225/60R18 100S 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
