265/65R18 Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 – 3PMS Winter

Category: Truck/SUV Winter – Studless

The Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 winter tire is designed for most SUV's and light trucks, and provides improved stability and braking on packed snow and icy conditions. If winter driving confidence is what you're looking for, the Blizzak DM-V2 won't disappoint. With reliable handling and impressive grip and control in the harshest conditions.

Carries the 3PMSF symbol — tested and rated for severe snow service.

What these tire specs mean

  • Load index 112 means each tire can carry up to 1120 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
  • Speed rating R is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 170 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
  • UTQG 540 A B is a manufacturer-assigned grade for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance. Useful for comparing within the same brand — but it’s not a mileage guarantee, and ratings aren’t standardized across manufacturers.
  • Winter tires use a softer compound that stays pliable in cold temperatures, where all-season rubber starts to harden. They carry the 3PMS symbol and meet Quebec’s winter tire mandate.
  • 3PMS stands for Three Peak Mountain Snowflake — a symbol earned by meeting specific severe snow traction standards in testing. It is the mark Quebec requires for winter tire compliance.
  • Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.
