Review on Bridgestone Blizzak VRX 195/55 R16 87S winter by Boyan Georgiev ᠌

After changing the car to a Mitsubishi lancer x, I decided to take a winter set of tires from my hands because I wanted a second set of original wheels, but they turned out to be with blizzak ws60 tires. The tires went through 2 seasons in Hong Kong before me, but the wear was minimal - 10% I thought I’ll go only before the onset of winter, then I’ll buy a new one, but the tires surprised me, they showed themselves extremely well. Blizzak WS60 I tested from time to time in extremecomnditions trying to evaluate the possibilities ofrubber. I skated along Hong Kongka from Hong Kong to Sheremetyevo for two seasons and the tires never let me down, I feltcomnfident on the road, but in winter I didn’t drive more than 120 km / h, it’s generally excellent in the city through slush! The turns were quitecomnfident, but therecomuld be small skids (the car was steerable and as I later found out that any directionalrubber behaves worse than asymmetric incomrners), in the snow-covered yards this Velcro surprised me very much and even on the rolled ice in the yards itcomnfidently stopped and backwards drove to the parking lot. Ws60rubber wear for 4 seasons - 20 percent! If not less, but the mileage is about 40 thousand km. I recently bought a new set of Blizzak VRX 205/60 R16, as I changed my shoes, I was again surprised at how much quieter the tires were than the regular summer dunlop. And after a ride, I was surprised at how the asymmetric pattern showed itself! The car rides like it's on rails and holds the turns with a bang. As for winter operation, let's look further. In harsh winters, I believed in Japanese technology. Fuelcomnsumption remained almost the same (WS60 added fuelcomnsumption by 1.1.5 liters). The VRX needs to berun in, there are slightly noticeable longitudinal grooves, less than a millimeter they must be erased to form a roughrubber surface.Run-in from 500 km to 1500, although therubber is soft but wear-resistant. Ps all tests of winter tires are like new sets of tires, and the full range of Blizzak qualities is revealed afterrunning. Link to pictures ofrun-in and notrun-in tires: .
