The Blizzak DM-V2 is Bridgestone’s Light Truck/SUV Studless Ice & Snow Winter Tire developed for the drivers of pickup, crossover and Sport Utility Vehicles that are seeking a tire that provides enhanced grip in slush, snow and on ice. Designed with a focus on ice traction and braking, as well as wet road handling and hydroplaning resistance, the Blizzak DM-V2 offers wintertime driving competence. The Blizzak DM-V2 radial meets the industry’s sever snow service requirements and is branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol (3PMSF). The Blizzak DM-V2 tire uses Bridgestone’s adaptive NanoPro Tech Multicell compound that features a water-loving hydrophilic coating with microscopic bite particles. The Blizzak DM-V2 tire uses Bridgestone’s adaptive NanoPro Tech Multicell compound that features a water-loving hydrophilic coating with microscopic bite particles. The multi-cell compound remains flexible in below-freezing conditions, wicks water off packed snow and ice while the bite particles deliver more grip and improve braking on glare ice. This particular compound is then molded into a directional tread design featuring 15% more aggressive block edges ( than the Blizzak DM-V1 it replaces) where wide lateral and circumferential grooves help channel water, slush and snow away from the contact area for added traction while 3-dimensional zigzag sipes increase the number of biting edges in the snow.
