The Blizzak WS60 from Bridgestone has been a top of the pack snow tire for the last several years. If you're looking for snow tires for your passenger sedan, minivan, coupe, station wagon, or crossover vehicle, this tire is a great choice with outstanding customer ratings. The WS60 is designed to cover a wide variety of winter conditions for passenger and family haulers of all types. This winter tire combines the best of snow traction and highway stability in one package for safe, secure driving in freezing and rainy conditions. To enhance snow and ice traction, the tread pattern has multiple 3-D zigzag sipes to grip every edge and angle the tire comes in contact with. This pliable yet strong traction layer enables the vehicle to climb slippery hills from a standstill, stop well in icy intersections, corner in the snow and slush, and stop quickly without locking up. Combined with the large tread blocks and circumferential grooves around the perimeter, this tire provides winter stability and safety which is at the top of its class.
One of the problems in slushy snow is hydroplaning. The Blizzak WS60's wide and deep channels fill up and extract water and slush quickly from the contact patch, making them very resistant to hydroplaning. This is the key to maintaining contact with the road surface, and this is someting these tires do exceptionally well. Most snow tires lack traction and stability in dry conditions, which can become a problem between snow storms and in the spring when things thaw out and warm up. The WS60, on the other hand, is known for having excellent handling and drivability even on dry roads. Bridgestone's UNI-T bonded multi-structural tire design allows the best handling possible for both snow and dry conditions. The tire adapts and bounces back to its optimum round shape no matter how hard it is pushed. The structure provides optimum rolling shape, low noise, and long tire wear. In fact, many customers report using their Blizzaks for up to four whole winter seasons without losing significant snow traction. Take a look at the Bridgestone Blizzak WS60 snow tire. You won't be disappointed!

THE DEALER SAID THEY HAVE TO SEND A REP OUT FROM VOLKSWAGEN TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG THAT WILL TAKE SO I WILL HAVE THE LOANER VEHICLE INDEFINITELY.
