2025 Auto Express Winter Tire Test
3rd/8
225/45 R17 • 2025
Auto Express comments that the Blizzak 6 is “great in all conditions” and shines especially in cold, wet and dry weather. Its overall consistency, combined with strong fuel‑efficiency, makes it a good all‑round choice.
2025 AMS Winter Tire Test
6th/10
215/55 R17 • 2025
The Bridgestone Blizzak 6 excels on snow and dry roads but lacks the necessary grip on wet surfaces. It demonstrates outstanding performance on snow with a balanced overall capability, leading the snow category. On dry asphalt, it provides secure braking and easily controllable driving behavior with pronounced reserves. However, testers found all snow disciplines delivered comparatively lower grip levels overall. The tire's main weakness is on wet roads where it tends toward understeer with strong front-axle grip and shows a tendency for lift-off oversteer, though it does brake and handle aquaplaning situations well. The unbalanced and somewhat less stable wet handling holds it back from a higher ranking despite its winter and dry road strengths.
2025 AZ Performance Winter Tire Test
4th/10
245/45 R19 • 2025
The Bridgestone Blizzak 6 Enliten takes fourth place and earns the fuel efficiency recommendation thanks to its class-leading Enliten technology. On snow, this tire achieves the highest performance rating in the test with the joint-shortest braking distance, excellent traction, outstanding lateral grip of 3.86 m/s², and a very high driving safety score of 29/30 - its balanced nature and strong grip inspire confidence through winter conditions. In wet weather, the Bridgestone offers very high aquaplaning reserves and stable driving characteristics with willing turn-in response, scoring 34/45 for safety, though braking distances are somewhat longer than the best. The tire delivers best-in-class results for rolling resistance at just 7.6 kg/t and excels in slalom testing at 59.0 km/h, though it shows lively responses to load changes and scores 23/30 for dry safety. With small steering angles and stable support characteristics, it provides an engaging driving experience. The Enliten technology makes it exceptionally efficient, though its mileage of 39,750 km doesn't quite match the longevity leaders, preventing it from claiming the top environmental spot.

Fitted for alfa giulia so mixed setup 225/255. Potent tire but I feel like LM005 was a bit more focus, bit stiffer.
