Blizzak has always been a winter tire focused on wet conditions, but with its sixth model, Bridgestone has promised improved snow performance and reduced rolling resistance. Early tests suggest they have delivered on these promises—Blizzak 6 is unmatched in wet conditions and excels on snow, making it ideal not just for city climates.

A great winter tyre with balanced handling characteristics. Great in the wet, but slightly less durable than newer models.

While being somehow dated as it was introduced back in 2015, it received some midlife updates and still holds up with the current models, at least in smaller dimensions. At the right price, it could be a great choice.

Did you know ...?
255/60 R17 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for winter tyres - there are 22 tyre models available, which can be compared to 175/70 R14, 165/65 R13, 165/70 R13. Let's break down the sizing - 60 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 60% of the tyre width (255mm), which means the sidewall height has 153 mm. The wheel diameter is R17, which means it fits to a 17 inch/431.8mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2317.87 mm, which is very similar to 255/65 R16(2318.18 mm), 255/55 R18(2317.55 mm), 255/50 R19(2317.24 mm), 255/70 R15(2318.5 mm), 255/45 R20(2316.92 mm), 255/40 R21(2316.61 mm), 235/65 R17(2316.3 mm).
