The Blizzak DM-V2 is Bridgestone's Light Truck/SUV Studless Ice & Snow winter tire developed for the drivers of pickup, crossover and sport utility vehicles looking for enhanced grip in slush, snow and on ice. Designed with a focus on ice traction and braking, as well as wet road handling and hydroplaning resistance, the Blizzak DM-V2 offers wintertime driving competence.
Blizzak DM-V2 tires use Bridgestone's adaptive NanoPro Tech Multicell compound that features a water-loving hydrophilic coating and microscopic bite particles. The Multicell compound remains flexible in below-freezing conditions, wicks water off packed snow and ice while the bite particles deliver more grip and improve braking on glare ice. This compound is molded into a directional tread design featuring 15% more block edges (than the Blizzak DM-V1 it replaces) where circumferential and lateral grooves help channel water, slush and snow away from the contact area for added traction while 3D zigzag sipes increase the number of snow biting edges.
The Blizzak DM-V2 radial meets the industry's severe snow service requirements and is branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol (3PMSF).
NOTE: The first 55% of the Blizzak DM-V2's tread depth features the NanoPro Tech Multicell Compound while the remaining 45% features a standard winter tire compound. When the Blizzak DM-V2 is approximately 50 percent worn, a depth indicator molded into the tread design lets the driver know that the remaining tread is reaching the end of its ability to provide beneficial snow traction.
Install Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 tires in sets of four only.
Due to the revolutionary traction capabilities of the Blizzak, Bridgestone recommends using them only in sets of four to provide the best handling characteristics and tire performance.

El neumático Blizzak DM-V2 de Bridgestone pertenece a la categoría: Camiones Ligeros Sin Pernos Para Hielo y Nieve. Fue desarrollado para conductores que buscan mejorar el agarre de sus picops, utiliautos (crossover) y vehículos utilitarios deportivos (SUV, por sus siglas en inglés) sobre superficies con aguanieve, hielo y nieve. Su diseño se enfoca en el frenado y obtener tracción sobre hielo, maniobrabilidad sobre superficies mojadas y resistencia al deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning). Los neumáticos Blizzak DM-V2 poseen el compuesto de caucho adaptivo ¿NanoPro Tech Multicell¿ de Bridgestone, el cual, posee un recubrimiento hidrófilo amante de agua y partículas adherentes microscópicas. El compuesto ¿Multicell¿ se mantiene flexible en temperaturas de congelación, sobre hielo y nieve compactada, mientras que las partículas adherentes proporcionan mayor agarre y mejoran el frenado sobre hielo. Este compuesto es moldeado en una banda de rodamiento direccional con 15% más de bordes en los bloques (comparado al Blizzak DM-V1 que remplaza), canales circunferenciales y ranuras laterales ayudan a sacar agua, aguanieve y nieve, del área de contacto con la carretera, para ofrecer mayor tracción, mientras que pequeñas ranuras 3D en forma de zigzag, aumentan la cantidad de bordes adherentes para nieve.
El neumático radial Blizzak DM-V2 cumple con los requisitos de la industria relacionados a condiciones severa de nieve y posee el símbolo montaña/copo de nieve (mountain/snowflake).
NOTA: El compuesto de caucho NanoPro Tech Multicell se encuentra en el 55% de la profundidad inicial de la banda de rodamiento del Blizzak DM-V2, el 45% restante posee un compuesto de caucho estándar para invierno. Cuando el Blizzak DM-V2 alcanza un 50% de desgaste, unos indicadores de profundidad moldeados en la banda de rodamiento, anuncian que el neumático se acerca al final de proporcionar buena tracción sobre nieve.
Instale el Blizzak DM-V2 en grupos de cuatro solamente.
Debido a la capacidad de tracción revolucionaría del Blizzak, Bridgestone recomienda utilizarlos en grupo de cuatro para obtener las mejores características de maniobrabilidad y rendimiento que se pueda obtener.
Los neumáticos de invierno no poseen las normas de Clasificación Uniforme de Calidad de Neumáticos (UTQG, por sus siglas en inglés).

There's a common misperception that an SUV's or CUV's advanced systems can create additional traction. They can't. Their purpose is to help the driver make the most of whatever traction their tires can provide.
And for winter season driving, there is none better than a tire from the Studless Ice & Snow category.
We evaluate the category's newest in the most challenging winter condition. Ice.
