Autoexpress Winter tyre test 2025 225/45 R17

Ranked #3 of 8

3rd of 8 competitors, final rating '-'. The Bridgestone put in an impressive, consistent showing across almost every test, earning a deserved podium — its weakest area was snow (seventh in braking, fourth in traction and fourth on the handling circuit), while it was strong in the wet with several third places including aquaplaning and wet braking, and very capable in the dry (fourth in braking, second on the handling course) thanks to excellent feel and composure. It was the noisiest over control surfaces but recorded the lowest rolling resistance — the best in that discipline — and it did not finish last in any measured property.

Sportauto Winter tyre test 2025 275/35 R19
very good
Ranked #2 of 6

2 out of 6 competitors — final rating "Very good". The tyre delivered very balanced snow performance with very short stopping distances and felt secure, showing a tendency to mild understeer on wet and dry surfaces and proving very safe in evasive manoeuvres; its main drawbacks were longer braking distances and somewhat reduced cornering stability with pronounced understeer particularly in dry turns. It stood out as the best in snow handling (objective and subjective), wet braking and handling, dry lane changing and steering response, and rolling resistance, and it did not finish last in any measured property.

very good
Ranked #6 of 10

6 out of 10 — finished with a final rating of 'Very good'. The Bridgestone Blizzak 6 was very strong on snow and dry roads, excelling particularly in lateral guidance on snow and delivering a safe, slightly understeering behavior with generous safety reserves in corners; it felt spontaneous and dynamic in dry turns. Its weak point was wet grip, showing unbalanced, less-stable wet handling and somewhat longer wet braking distances in the test, although a retest delivered noticeably better wet performance.

very good
Ranked #3 of 10

The Bridgestone Blizzak 6 secured the 3rd position out of 10 competitors, achieving a final rating of 'Very good.' The tyre excelled in disciplines like longitudinal aquaplaning, snow braking, lateral guidance on snow, wet braking, and both objective and overall wet handling. It was noted for its very short braking distances and secure, dynamic handling with significant reserves on both wet and snowy surfaces. However, it exhibited relatively long braking distances on dry asphalt, sensitivity to load changes in dry corners, limited rear axle stability during quick lane changes, and sluggish steering response.
