Bridgestone Blizzak VRX2



Description

The Bridgestone Blizzak VRX2 is a premium asymmetrical winter tire designed for a diverse range of passenger vehicles. Introduced in the summer of 2017, this tire was acclaimed by Bridgestone as the most "tenacious" on ice within the Blizzak family at its time of release.

Features & Benefits

  • Enhanced Braking Performance: The VRX2 boasts a 10% improvement in braking performance on ice compared to its predecessor.
  • Extended Tread Life: The tire's life has been extended by 22%, ensuring durability and longevity.
  • Acoustic Comfort: Noise levels have been significantly reduced by 31% (1.6 dBA), emphasizing not just safety but also the comfort of winter journeys.
  • W-shaped Tread Blocks: These blocks remain undistorted under braking, enhancing stability and handling on winter terrains.
  • Immediate High Performance: The "microtextures" on the tread surface ensure the tire's high performance on ice right after installation, eliminating the need for a break-in period.

Technologies

  • Porous Compound: This latest-generation compound, characterized by micro-bubbles and special hydrophilic-coated "grooves", swiftly removes the water film from icy surfaces, preventing skidding.
  • Asymmetric Tread Pattern: This design maximizes the contact zone with the road surface, fully harnessing the potential of the absorbent rubber compound.
  • Angled Winter Sipes and Drainage Grooves: These features facilitate a swift change in airflow direction, reducing rolling noise.
  • Microbubbles in the Compound: Surprisingly, these microbubbles also contribute to the tire's acoustic comfort.
