Perfect tires

They did amazing last winter. I have to travel twice daily to go up & down two very intimidating hills, with turns and steepness. Both get dense fog (which means ice sheet under snow).

The name of the game here is winter grip. It claws across icy, snowy roads with no hesitation or drama. Our back road was covered with solid ice a week ago, and my car with new Blizzak WS90s barely noticed. My wife's car with 1 season old Nokian Hakkapeliitta was sliding around more noticeably. When the snow gets deep, and the ice gets slick, these are when the tires really shine. In the rain, these tires are also really good. They blaze right through deep puddles with no worries. The previous versions of this tire (WS60 and WS70) had really really sloppy lateral grip on dry roads, so much so that I checked if I had flats, twice. This version is significantly better in this regard, having minimal lateral sloppiness. Noise is the worst thing you can say about this tire, and frankly, it's not even that loud. 10/10 if you live in an area where you regularly have to drive through unsalted/unplowed roads, these tires will serve you well during the winter months.

My 3rd generation of Blizzak winter tires. Finally got the opportunity to try them today in a heavy, wet slush and snow. These tires are unbelievable all around. Traction is amazing and the same for braking as well. I feel confident and safe with these tires on. It seems the worse the conditions, the better they perform. What a tire! Truly impressed by this tire.

Ordered the wrong size, but tires appeared to be well designed and attractive. The return process was easy and I will definitely consider SimpleTire for my next purchase.

Get technical:

The Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 is a winter tire that's designed for use on sedans and minivans, and offers drivers high-end braking performance, superior traction and grip in severe winter conditions, and longer tread life.



Features & Benefits

  • Winter tread; should not be used when temperatures are consistently above 45 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Black sidewall
  • Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certified for use in severe winter weather conditions
  • New-gen tread compound and larger contact area provide better control on snow- and ice-covered roads

Winter tires are designed to provide high snow traction and their compounds keep the tread flexible in severe winter conditions. Fortunately, the Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 comes with similar abilities and takes a new leap in tire technology by utilizing a brand-new compound on a larger contact area than the forerunner WS80. It advances in winter performance, thanks to patented Multicell technology and enhanced tread pattern as they increase the tread block edges by 15%, resulting in improved braking performance in icy and snowy conditions. With 30% more block stiffness, the Blizzak WS90 assures longer tread life, while the Multicell technology prevents the tire from slipping on ice, resulting in higher dependability and confident driving in harsh winter conditions. The Blizzak WS90 is a suitable choice for use on vehicles like the Subaru Outback, Kia Optima, Volkswagen Golf GTI, Nissan Sentra, Mini Cooper S, Mazda CX-30, Hyundai Sonata, Honda Civic, and Lincoln Continental.
