Bridgestone Blizzak 6 ENLITEN Tyre
The Bridgestone Blizzak 6 ENLITEN is a premium winter tyre crafted for touring cars, SUVs, and 4x4s. It is designed to maintain control in challenging winter conditions, offering excellent mobility on snow and the shortest stopping distances on wet roads. This tyre incorporates Bridgestone's Enliten technology, which enhances mileage by 32% compared to its predecessor and includes a significant portion of recycled and renewable materials, making it an environmentally conscious option. Additionally, it is tailored for electric vehicles, meeting their specific requirements.
- Superior Mobility & Control on Snow: Optimised pattern stiffness for enhanced grip.
- Shortest Stopping Distance on Wet Roads: Advanced compound technology for improved contact.
- Extended Mileage: 32% more mileage, allowing for an additional season.
- Eco-Friendly Composition: 25% of the tyre is made from recycled and renewable materials.
- Electric Vehicle Ready: Designed to meet the needs of electric vehicles.
- Optimised Sipes Distribution: Enhances lateral grip and edge efficiency.
- New Shoulder Slot Design: Provides extra control on snow with a unique shape.
- Mono-Lug Pattern Architecture: Improves water evacuation for better wet performance.
The presence of additional edges at the base of the tread pattern promotes better grip on snow. This design improves snow retention during lateral manoeuvres, thereby contributing to more effective traction in winter conditions.
Optimising the stiffness of the tread blocks helps to enhance the effectiveness of the edges in contact with snow. This design improves overall grip on snowy surfaces by providing better stability and more consistent traction during winter driving.
The combination of the tread pattern design and the compound benefits from a new formulation designed to optimise contact with the asphalt on wet roads. Controlling stiffness and dissipated energy strengthens the mechanical interaction between the polymer and the reinforcing fillers at molecular level, helping to reduce braking distances on wet surfaces.
The shoulder groove features an optimised “lightning” shape, combined with reinforced edges. This geometry promotes snow retention in the tread pattern and helps improve grip when driving on snow-covered surfaces.
The one-piece tread design incorporates a transverse groove that promotes more efficient water evacuation. This architecture helps improve wet-road handling by limiting water retention beneath the tyre.
The integration of support platforms helps to stabilise the tread blocks. This design promotes a more even distribution of stresses, thereby contributing to uniform wear and improved mileage.
The sipe layout is designed to enhance grip on snow. Increased angling on the central and intermediate blocks improves lateral grip, while a higher number of sipes increases the number of biting edges to optimise traction on slippery surfaces.
