The Blizzak DM-V1 is Bridgestone''s Light Truck/SUV Studless Ice & Snow winter tire developed for the drivers of pickup, crossoverand sport utility vehicles looking to combine grip in snow and on ice with reassuring handling on wet roads and in slush. The Blizzak DM-V1 is designed with a focus on ice traction and braking, as well as wet road handling and hydroplaningresistance to provide wintertime driving competence.
The Blizzak DM-V1 uses Bridgestone''s Multicell Z compound featuring microscopic bubbles and tubes to absorb the thin film of water that forms as tires run over packed snow and ice, while micro bite particles contribute to the edge effect that improves grip onpacked snow and icy surfaces. Other compound improvements include the addition of a special polymer that improves silica dispersion to increase wet grip in chilly temperatures by suppressing the influence temperatures have on rubber hardness.
The Blizzak DM-V1 directional tread pattern features low void to increase contact area on the road. Groove distribution has been optimized with four straight grooves to assure efficient water evacuation while two center grooves criss-cross to improve drainage and offer strong edge effect at all angles, givinghigher snow and wet performance with better grip in all directions. The BlizzakDM-V1 also incorporates advanced 3D Wash Board Z Sipe technology that increasesboth block stiffness for handling in the dry and increases the biting edge effect on frozen surfaces.
The Blizzak DM-V1 radial meets the industry''s severe snow service requirements and is branded with the mountain/snowflake symbol.
