About studless tires in Japan
hello everyone.
I would like to talk about Japanese winter tires.
These are my winter tires.
Bridgestone Ice Partner 2.
In Japan, the tire manufacturer for studless tires changes depending on where you live.
The Hokkaido area is said to be Bridgestone's Blizzaks.
If it's another tire manufacturer, it's uneasy.
It is said that 70% of taxis in Sapporo are equipped with Bridgestone.
Because the snow quality in Japan varies from region to region, such differences between manufacturers appear.
I live in the northern part of the Kanto region.
It doesn't snow that much, but it's an area where there are a lot of frozen roads.
It's dangerous to drive in the shadows of buildings or in the woods, but Bridgestone's cheap Ice Partner 2 tires stop firmly.
Bridgestone for Hokkaido and the Tohoku region.
Studless tires are said to be Bridgestone or Yokohama tires.
In areas where it doesn't snow much, I feel that winter tires from other manufacturers are fine.
Thank you for watching until the end.
Have a nice car life.
