UTAC: Large Winter Tire Test R16
Ranked #15th of 19. Bridgestone Blizzak IceVerdict:On ice, the Bridgestone Blizzak Ice demonstrates good acceleration and braking performance but the lateral grip is relatively weak, which compromises handling performance in challenging situations. In addition, both on ice and on snow the rear wheels do not always maintain grip during a high-speed maneuver and quickly go into a drift. On wet pavement, the Bridgestone has a braking distance that is longer than that of the competitors, and it compromises the car’s handling performance during emergency maneuvering. The tire has a slow response to the driver’s inputs, and the grip on the rear axle is also relatively weak. On dry pavement, the Bridgestone has a short braking distance, and demonstrates a stable and confident performance. Noise emission low, rolling resistance average.

Vi Bilagare: Studless Winter Tire Test R16
Ranked #7th of 8. Bridgestone Blizzak IceVerdict:This tire came to replace the Blizzak WS80 model. Just as for its predecessor, Bridgestone chose for the new friction tire one of the softest rubber compounds (52 points by the Shore Hardness Scale), due to which it was highly rated on snow-covered roads. The ice traction falls slightly short of the best tires, but both on snow and ice the tire provides excellent handling response, making early warnings to the driver about the grip loss. The new Bridgestone model got an asymmetric tread pattern, which ensures stronger lateral grip, but at the same time does a poorer job of evacuating water from the contact area. So it comes as no surprise that the Blizzak Ice showed the worst results in the wet tests. On dry pavement, the tire is excessively soft, with poor lateral grip and fuzzy handling response. The low scores on bare pavement put the Japanese studless tire only in seventh place in the tournament bracket.
