Bridgestone Blizzak DM-Z3



Description

The Bridgestone Blizzak DM-Z3 is a cutting-edge winter tire, meticulously crafted using the latest technology. Specifically designed for off-road four-wheel drive vehicles, this tire not only promises superior traction on winter surfaces but also emphasizes the vehicle's power with its aggressive directional pattern and innovative sidewall design.

Features & Benefits

  • Microporous Tread Compound: The inclusion of both micropores and microgrooves in the tread compound ensures efficient water evacuation and helps cut through the water film, enhancing grip on icy and wet surfaces.
  • Aggressive Design: The directional pattern, coupled with the innovative sidewall design, accentuates the vehicle's power and is apt for off-road four-wheel drive vehicles.
  • Enhanced Winter Traction: The tire's design and technology focus on improving traction on winter terrains, ensuring better handling and safety.

Technologies

  • Tube Multicell Compound: This latest generation rubber compound ensures excellent grip on winter roads, effectively replacing the need for studs.
  • Riblet: Riblet grooves play a crucial role in removing the water film from the tire, reducing the risk of aquaplaning.
  • 3D Sipes: These sipes allow for an even distribution of pressure on the contact patch, ensuring consistent performance.
  • 3D Block Edge: This feature increases the depth of penetration of the tread blocks into the snow, enhancing grip on snowy terrains.
  • Snow Behavior Simulation: The pioneering "Snow Simulation Technology" enables the computer to design a tread pattern that interacts most effectively with snowy surfaces.
