πŸ’‘ Is the Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 235/45R20 a Good Tire?

The Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 235/45R20 is a winter studless ice and snow tire designed for full-size SUVs and light trucks. It delivers strong ice and snow traction with adequate dry performance thanks to its multicell compound and directional tread pattern optimized for winter conditions. Ride comfort is good with moderate road noise, though tread life is shorter than all-season tires due to the soft winter compound. Rated Excellent by TireRack based on 661 consumer surveys, it excels in harsh winter conditions but requires seasonal changeover and storage during warmer months. Currently priced from $228.7, it is available through major online tire retailers.

About This Tire

The Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 235/45R20 is a winter tire, designed for pickup truck, crossover, and SUV drivers who prioritize ice traction and snow handling in harsh winter conditions. Its tread design and compound focus on maximizing grip on ice and packed snow while maintaining wet road handling capabilities.

The tire features Bridgestone's NanoPro Tech Multicell compound that stays flexible in freezing temperatures and includes microscopic bite particles for enhanced ice grip. The directional tread pattern incorporates 15% more aggressive block edges than its predecessor, with wide lateral and circumferential grooves designed to evacuate water, slush, and snow from the contact patch. Driver feedback indicates strong performance across winter conditions, with particularly notable wet and dry road handling that exceeds typical winter tire expectations.

Compared to all-season tires, it prioritizes maximum winter traction and safety over year-round convenience and tread life. Overall, it's a solid choice for light truck and SUV owners who face regular snow, ice, and slush conditions during winter months.
