Performance Analysis

Bridgestone Blizzak 6 - Official Image

Across four winter tests, the Bridgestone Blizzak 6 delivers class-leading wet grip and consistently strong snow performance, translating to top-tier overall results (avg. 3rd, including a win in a 55-tire braking shootout). Its wet braking/handling are repeatedly at or near the top, and snow braking/traction are regularly top-3, supporting confident all-weather winter safety. Efficiency and comfort are mixed, and dry braking is a recurring weak spot, though dry handling is generally competitive.
Key trade-offs are poorer dry braking and average-to-weak aquaplaning and noise scores in some tests, plus middling rolling resistance/value in the compact size. Still, the tire's wet dominance and solid snow capability make it one of the safest winter options overall.
