Expert summary

Blizzak has always been a winter tire focused on wet conditions, but with its sixth model, Bridgestone has promised improved snow performance and reduced rolling resistance. Early tests suggest they have delivered on these promises—Blizzak 6 is unmatched in wet conditions and excels on snow, making it ideal not just for city climates.

Did you know ...?

275/40 R21 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for winter tyres - there are tyre models available, which can be compared to 325/30 R21, 155/60 R15, 155/65 R13. Let's break down the sizing - 40 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 40% of the tyre width (275mm), which means the sidewall height has 110 mm. The wheel diameter is R21, which means it fits to a 21 inch/533.4mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is mm, which is very similar to 225/45 R19(2152.31 mm), 295/30 R20(2151.99 mm), 225/60 R15(2045.18 mm), 305/25 R20(2075.02 mm), 225/75 R16(2337.03 mm), 235/45 R18(2100.78 mm), 235/55 R19(2328.23 mm).
