Bridgestone Winter tyres are cold-weather tyres built for grip below 7°C on wet, icy and snow-covered roads. Sold as the Blizzak range, led by the Blizzak 6 ENLITEN, they carry the 3PMSF (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake) snow marking and use a compound that stays flexible in the cold. They’re a seasonal tyre, fitted roughly October to April - drivers wanting one set all year should look at Bridgestone all season tyres instead.
Blizzak tyres use a winter compound that stays soft and flexible when temperatures drop below 7°C, so the tread keeps biting on cold, wet tarmac, slush and snow where a summer tyre hardens and loses grip. On the Blizzak 6, Bridgestone matched the compound to the tread pattern to balance snow and wet performance.
The Blizzak 6 uses an optimised sipe layout and stiffer tread blocks to grip into snow and clear water from the contact patch. In TÜV SÜD testing commissioned by Bridgestone, it was rated top for snow braking and traction and stopped shortest on wet roads against four premium rivals.
Built on Bridgestone’s ENLITEN technology platform, the Blizzak 6 has a more even wear profile and, in Bridgestone’s internal tests, 32% longer wear life than the Blizzak LM005 it replaces. It’s also EV-ready, and around 25% of the tyre is made from recycled and renewable materials.
The Blizzak 6 won the 2025 Auto Bild sportscars winter tyre test with an ‘exemplary’ rating, placed third of 51 tyres in Auto Bild’s 2025 winter test and shared fourth place in Auto Express’s 2026 winter group test. Bridgestone was also named a joint Auto Bild winter Manufacturer of the Year for 2025.

Yes. The Blizzak 6 ENLITEN won the 2025 Auto Bild sportscars winter tyre test with an ‘exemplary’ rating, finished third of 51 tyres in Auto Bild’s main 2025 winter test and shared fourth place in Auto Express’s 2026 group test. Its predecessor, the Blizzak LM005, built a similarly strong record.
Fit them when average temperatures fall below 7°C — usually from October to April in the UK — then swap back to summer tyres in spring. Winter tyres wear faster and lose some grip in warm weather, so if you want one set all year, Bridgestone all season tyres are the better choice.
Yes. Blizzak tyres carry the 3PMSF (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake) marking, which certifies tested snow performance rather than just the basic M+S label. In TÜV SÜD tests for Bridgestone, the Blizzak 6 was top-rated for snow braking and traction, and Auto Bild sportscars testers called it a ‘snow expert’.
No, winter tyres aren’t a legal requirement in the UK. However, several European countries require winter or 3PMSF-marked tyres in winter conditions, so they’re worth considering if you drive abroad in winter. Blizzak tyres carry the 3PMSF marking, so they meet those rules where it applies.
Summer tyres give the best grip and efficiency above 7°C. Winter tyres use a softer compound and more sipes for grip below 7°C and in snow. All season tyres are a year-round compromise that’s snow-rated but still works in summer, so there’s no seasonal swap.
It depends on mileage, driving style and how long they stay on each year. Bridgestone says the Blizzak 6 ENLITEN lasts 32% longer than the Blizzak LM005 in its internal tests, thanks to a more even wear profile. Swapping them off in spring also helps them last several winters.
Yes. Bridgestone describes the Blizzak 6 ENLITEN as EV-ready, engineered to meet the extra weight and torque demands of electric vehicles as well as conventional cars. In Auto Express’s 2026 test, it also posted the second-best rolling resistance, which helps protect range in the cold.
Not noticeably. Winter tyres can be slightly louder than summer tyres because of their deeper, more siped tread, but the Blizzak 6 ENLITEN scored joint second for cabin noise in Auto Express’s 2026 winter tyre test, so most drivers will find it refined for a winter tyre.
The Blizzak 6 ENLITEN, launched in 2024, replaces the Blizzak LM005. It adds Bridgestone’s ENLITEN platform, an optimised sipe layout and better pattern-to-compound matching. Bridgestone quotes 32% longer wear life than the LM005, and it’s EV-ready, with sizes from 16 to 22 inches.
If you regularly drive in cold, wet or snowy conditions, yes. A premium winter tyre gives noticeably shorter braking distances below 7°C, and the Blizzak 6’s longer wear life helps offset the cost. If you’d rather avoid buying and storing a second set, all season tyres may be better value.
For most cars, SUVs and EVs, the Blizzak 6 ENLITEN is the current flagship, available from 16 to 22 inches. Some sizes may still be offered in the Blizzak LM005, including DriveGuard run flat versions. Enter your registration or tyre size to see the winter tyres that fit your car.
