Blizzak WS60 Winter Tires by Bridgestone
For the winter season 2007/2008 the company Bridgestone has released its new winter tire - Blizzak WS60.
Bridgestone Blizzak WS60 is a symbol of the fact that Bridgestone is the leader in new technologies and is continually developing its products according to the latest requirements, different weather conditions and customers’ wishes.
The tires were designed using the technology UNI-T including the latest inventions of the company - NanoProTech and RC Polymer.
NanoProTech (nano-oriented feature control technology) - is the technology of the control of the compatibility of the filling, polymer and other components at the nano-level. The usage of the technology enables to control the morphology of caoutchouc and synthesize the compounds used in the production of automotive tires. The usage of the technology helps reduce the rolling resistance, increase braking figures.
RC Polymer is a butadiene rubber with an atom of silicon at the end of the polymer chain.
Butadiene rubber is very flexible at low temperatures and high pressures which is enabled by its structure. The insertion of silicon into the compound increases the cohesion on sleek surfaces.
Bridgestone also used the technology Tube Multicell while designing Blizzak WS60.
Tube Multicell is a microcellular rubber structure which enables brilliant cohesion on a winter road. The usage of the technology enables the water offtake on the microlevel. Tube Multicell helps a tire contact with the “dry” ice layer, which makes it almost stick to the surface. Micropores and microdrainage canals cut into ice and thus create rim effect ensuring the cohesion.
Bridgestone Blizzak WS60 tires will replace Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50 and Blizzak Revo 1. The new model will be available in 38 sizes with the R speed index.
