Winter Tires Explained - Bridgestone Blizzak WS80

From the creator

What are winter tires? Why are winter tires better for snow, ice, and cold weather conditions? How is a winter tire different from a summer tire? This video looks at studs, tire compound, tread, siping, tube multi-cell compounds, and bite particles as methods of increasing traction in winter weather. Winter tires have come a long way, and now studless tires are becoming much more popular as they're capable of much better traction in winter conditions than previously, all without destroying the road or being too loud like studded tires.
