As the Official Tire of the Olympic Games, Bridgestone will supply its industry-leading Blizzak winter tyres for all International Olympic Committee (IOC) vehicles in the official Olympic fleet. Tyres are an important vehicle safety feature, making it critical to have the right type of tyre for the driving conditions. Engineered with specialized rubber compounds that remain flexible as temperatures drop, Bridgestone Blizzak winter tyres provide enhanced traction in snowy, icy and slushy conditions, giving Olympic officials maximum control while traveling in PyeongChang.
