  • Very good handling on dry and wet roads

For commercial transport types, the tire has all the features necessary to meet the requirements of high-capacity load vehicles. 

New technologies for Superior Performance in Winter Conditions

With a design enriched by advanced technologies, the Blizzak W965 presents an innovative structure of tread, which maximizes performance and offers a comfortable ride, a reduction in wear, and a superior grip on winter roads.

In addition, the tire tread has microscopic pores and micro-channels that absorb and disperse water for optimum ground contact on wet roads. 

The Biting-edges for Extra Traction

The tread band of the Bridgestone Blizzak W965 has independent blocks of a good depth of zigzag stripes and biting edges. Thus equipped, this tire has better traction capacity on icy snow and wet roads. 

A strengthened internal structure for greater durability and a smoother drive

To ensure a longer lifetime of the internal structure, Bridgestone's Blizzak W965 is made of a reinforced steel belt and nylon willing spiral, which improves the rigidity of the tape working for uniform tire wear. 

Also equipped with polyester housing and a robust carcass, the Blizzak W965 is enhanced for better ride quality, increased durability, and quieter riding.

I only bought one tire to be used (or not used) as a spare on my Mercury Marauder. I've purchased tires from PMC in the past and have been pleased with the prices and the free shipping when I buy four tires. Needing new Bridgestone Blizzaks for my Honda Accord in the fall.

Ordered 18" Fuel Vapours with 285 70r18 Toyo AT3's on a Friday. They were at my door the following Friday assembled and balanced. I had em installed that afternoon and had them in the mud while hunting the next morning. 100% would purchase from PMC again.

I had bought the NEW bridgestone WS80 tires and rims they were delivered very quickly. Unfortunately the offset for my Audi S6 2019 was not the same as the rims so they would not work. When I connected with CSR he was quick to resolve the problem that day and RUSHED new rims to me free of charge. Then PMC reimbursed me the full amount for remount and balanced. What a great company to deal with and they have my business for many years to come. Thank you, PMC for a great product and experience.
