2022 ViBilagare Nordic SUV Winter Tire Test

6th of 8 tires

• Braking distance dry road, cornering grip on snow, road noise.
• Cornering grip wet road, hydroplaning, rolling resistance.
• DM-V3 is the name of the SUV version of Bridgestone's classic friction tire Blizzak. In terms of results, the tire ends up in something of a no-man's land. It achieves few top results in the test rounds, but it does not fall through negatively in any round.
  Its advantages are good sound comfort, short braking distance on dry roads and well-balanced driving characteristics with good cornering grip on snow.
  Unfortunately, for a Nordic winter tire, it has some grip problems on the ice where it falls behind the other well-known premium names.
  Despite four longitudinal drainage channels, the aquaplaning ability does not impress either.
  Without any real top scoring results, it’s a modest point harvest and a sixth place overall.
