The Bridgestone Blizzak DM V3 is a studless Nordic SUV winter tire with short dry braking distances and balanced snow cornering in its sole test. Wet handling, aquaplaning resistance, efficiency and ice grip were less competitive within that Nordic field.

2022 ViBilagare Nordic SUV Winter Tire Test P6 of 8
DM-V3 is the name of the SUV version of Bridgestone's classic friction tire Blizzak. In terms of results, the tire ends up in something of a no-man's land. It achieves few top results in the test rounds, but it does not fall through negatively in any round. Its advantages are good sound comfort, short braking distance on dry roads and well-balanced driving characteristics with good cornering grip on snow. Unfortunately, for a Nordic winter tire, it has some grip problems on the ice where it falls behind the other well-known premium names. Despite four longitudinal drainage channels, the aquaplaning ability does not impress either. Without any real top scoring results, it’s a modest point harvest and a sixth place overall.
