Top 3 Best Bridgestone Tires for 2026
Bridgestone makes a lot of tires, but let's be honest: in Canada, one name does most of the talking — Blizzak. This is the brand that has been building studless winter tires since the early '80s and turned "Blizzak" into shorthand for winter tires the way Kleenex means tissue. Big change this year: the legendary WS90 and the DM-V2 are both gone, replaced by a single new flagship — the Blizzak IcePeak. For the full story on the brand, read our Bridgestone brand profile.
Here are the three Bridgestones actually worth your money, ranked.
#1 — Blizzak IcePeak: the new winter king
Launched in May 2026 as the single replacement for both the WS90 (cars) and the DM-V2 (SUVs and trucks), the IcePeak is now the one Blizzak that covers nearly everything — 107 sizes from 14 to 22 inches, for sedans, minivans, crossovers, SUVs, and trucks, including hybrids and EVs. It's the first Bridgestone tire to carry both the 3PMSF severe-snow rating and the Ice Grip certification, built on their ENLITEN technology for better wear life and lower rolling resistance.
Translation for a GTA winter: this is the tire for glare-ice mornings, freeze-thaw cycles, and that greasy slush on the 401. If you run dedicated winters — and in Ontario, you should — start here.
Our #1 pick: the Blizzak IcePeak
The new flagship of the Blizzak line — launched May 2026 to replace both the WS90 and DM-V2. One tire covering 107 sizes from sedans to full-size trucks, with the 3PMSF severe-snow rating and Ice Grip certification. For glare-ice mornings and freeze-thaw GTA winters, this is where you start.
#2 — Dueler A/T Ascent: the truck all-terrain
Bridgestone's answer for pickups and SUVs that split time between pavement and dirt. It's an all-terrain with the 3PMSF severe-snow rating, so unlike most A/Ts it stays capable through a Canadian winter — backed by a 60,000-mile limited treadwear warranty, which is serious confidence for an all-terrain. Full-depth 3D sipes keep the biting edges working as it wears.
If you drive a Silverado, F-150, 4Runner, or full-size SUV and want one tire that does work-truck duty in July and ski-trip duty in January, this is it.
#3 — Turanza QuietTrack: the quiet commuter
The grand touring all-season for sedans and coupes — the answer for everyone who just wants their car to be quiet, comfortable, and sure-footed in the rain. Consistently one of the highest-rated touring tires for ride comfort and low noise, with strong wet traction. It's not a winter tire — in Ontario, pair it with a dedicated winter set — but for the other three seasons it's the refined pick.
Honorable mention: UltraWeather
The all-weather option for crossover owners who want one set, year-round, with the 3PMSF rating baked in. Launched in 2026 as the replacement for the WeatherPeak, the UltraWeather carries the severe-snow rating in 61 sizes. For RAV4s, CR-Vs, and Rogues that live on pavement but still face a real winter, it's the honest compromise between a touring all-season and a dedicated winter.
The quick verdict
- Dedicated winter tire: Blizzak IcePeak. The new king.
- Truck or SUV, pavement and dirt: Dueler A/T Ascent — winter-rated, long warranty.
- Sedan, quiet comfort: Turanza QuietTrack — plus a winter set.
- Crossover, one set year-round: UltraWeather.

FAQ
Q: What is the best Bridgestone tire overall? A: The Blizzak IcePeak. Launched in May 2026 as the replacement for both the WS90 and DM-V2, it's the new flagship of Bridgestone's winter line — 107 sizes covering sedans through full-size trucks, with both the 3PMSF severe-snow rating and Ice Grip certification. For Ontario winters, nothing else in the Bridgestone lineup matters as much.
Q: What replaced the Bridgestone Blizzak WS90? A: The Blizzak IcePeak. Launched in May 2026, it replaces both the WS90 (passenger cars) and the DM-V2 (SUVs and trucks) with a single line covering 107 sizes from 14 to 22 inches. If you loved the WS90, the IcePeak is the tire you buy now.
Q: What is the best Bridgestone tire for trucks and SUVs? A: The Dueler A/T Ascent. It's an all-terrain built for pickups and SUVs, with the 3PMSF severe-snow rating for year-round Canadian use and a 60,000-mile limited treadwear warranty. For dedicated winter traction, the Blizzak IcePeak still wins on ice.
Q: Are Bridgestone tires good for Ontario winters? A: Yes — the Blizzak line is the reason. The new Blizzak IcePeak carries the 3PMSF severe-snow rating plus Ice Grip certification and covers nearly every vehicle on the road. The Dueler A/T Ascent also carries the 3PMSF rating for truck and SUV owners who want one tire year-round.
Q: Can I run the Dueler A/T Ascent year-round in the GTA? A: Yes. It carries the 3PMSF severe-snow rating, so you can run it all twelve months in Ontario — that's the point of an all-weather all-terrain. A dedicated winter tire like the Blizzak IcePeak still outperforms it on glare ice.
Q: What is the quietest Bridgestone tire for a sedan? A: The Turanza QuietTrack. It's Bridgestone's grand touring all-season, consistently rated among the best for quiet ride comfort and strong wet traction. It's not a winter tire, so Ontario drivers should pair it with a dedicated winter set like the Blizzak IcePeak.
Q: Where can I buy Bridgestone tires in the GTA? A: From Sparky X Mobile Tire Shop. We sell and install Bridgestone tires across the GTA at your driveway — text or call (647) 819-0490 with your tire size for a straight quote, or read our Bridgestone brand profile first.
