πŸ’‘ Is the Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 235/45R18 a Good Tire?

The Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 235/45R18 is a winter studless ice and snow tire designed for mid-size sedans and compact crossovers. It delivers strong snow and ice traction with adequate dry road performance thanks to its NanoPro-Tech multicell compound and advanced siping pattern. Ride comfort is good with moderate road noise, though tread life is shorter than all-season tires due to the softer winter compound. Rated Excellent by TireRack based on 597 consumer surveys, it excels in winter conditions but requires seasonal changeover and storage during warmer months. Currently priced from $232.33, it is available through major online tire retailers.

About This Tire

The Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 235/45R18 is a studless winter tire, designed for sedan, coupe, minivan and crossover drivers who prioritize confident control and reliable traction in challenging winter weather conditions. Its directional tread pattern and advanced compound technology focus on maximizing ice grip while maintaining responsive handling throughout the tire's lifespan.

The WS90 features Bridgestone's Multi-Cell compound with bite particles that work to remove water layers on ice surfaces, combined with EdgePerformance Technology that includes full-depth interlocking sipes for consistent performance as the tire wears. The tread design offers 15% more block edges than its predecessor and increased block stiffness for improved steering response and wear characteristics. Driver feedback indicates strong performance across wet and dry winter conditions, with solid comfort levels and predictable handling that drivers can rely on during difficult weather.
