Bridgestone Blizzak 6 review

An impressive and consistent performance across almost every measured test earned the Bridgestone a deserved podium position, and it was good to drive, too. Relatively speaking, snow was its weakest suit; it finished seventh in braking and fourth in traction, and was fourth on the handling circuit where it was handy but didn’t have the positivity of the leading tyres. 

Things picked up in the wet, where it was on the podium in almost all the tests, bagging a pair of third places in aquaplaning and another in wet braking, taking a mere 0.5m longer to stop than the best. It was third around the wet handling circuit, too, where it lacked the outright grip of the very best tyres but demonstrated and easily exploited agility and poise. 

It was equally impressive in the dry, claiming a fourth in the braking test and second on the handling course, where it impressed with great feel and composure. It stayed on line through the tightening sequence of curves, one of the few that had the balance and precision to do so. The Blizzak 6 was the noisiest over the control surfaces but not dramatically so, and recorded the lowest rolling resistance, making it the most economical tyre on test.
