💡 Is the Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 205/65R16 a Good Tire?
The Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 205/65R16 is a winter studless ice and snow tire designed for mid-size family sedans and compact crossovers. It delivers exceptional snow and ice traction with improved wet grip thanks to its Multi-Cell compound and 3D zigzag sipes that bite into winter surfaces. Ride comfort is good with moderate road noise, though the specialized winter compound creates a softer feel than all-season alternatives. Tread life is adequate for a winter tire but significantly shorter than all-season options due to the softer rubber compound. Rated Excellent by TireRack based on 593 consumer surveys, it excels in winter conditions but is not suitable for year-round use in warmer climates. Currently priced from $144.93, it is available through major online tire retailers.
