Bridgestone Blizzak 6 vs Ceat WinterDrive

Test Results

Independent comparison tyre tests are the best source of data to get tyre information from, and the good news is there have been four tests which compare both tyres directly!

While it might look like the Bridgestone Blizzak 6 is better than the Ceat WinterDrive purely based on the higher number of test wins, tyres are very complicated objects which means where one tyre is better than the other can be more important in real world use.

Let's look at how the two tyres compare across multiple tyre test categories.

Key Strengths

Bridgestone Blizzak 6

• Class-leading wet braking and aquaplaning resistance (e.g., −5-11% wet braking vs Ceat across tests)
• Consistently strong snow braking and handling with precise steering feel
• Lower rolling resistance with competitive wear (53-57k km projections)
• Sporty dry handling and balanced control across conditions

Ceat WinterDrive

• Outstanding value and cost-per-km (circa €380/set; best value score)
• Very competitive mileage and low fuel use in ADAC
• Quieter pass-by noise and strong ice braking in ADAC
• Occasional wins in dry braking and solid snow traction

Conclusion

If you prioritise all-weather safety with an emphasis on wet security and confident winter control, the Blizzak 6 is the stronger, more rounded performer. It wins every shared wet and snow braking head-to-head, posts better aquaplaning resistance, and feels sharper to steer-translating to shorter stops and easier control when conditions deteriorate.
The Ceat WinterDrive delivers excellent value: a much lower buy-in, very competitive projected mileage, lower noise, and isolated strengths in dry stopping and ice braking. For budget-minded drivers in milder climates or well-cleared urban routes who still want solid winter capability, it's a pragmatic pick.
Bottom line: choose Bridgestone for best-in-class wet confidence and balanced winter prowess; choose Ceat for maximum cost-per-kilometre savings and quieter cruising, accepting weaker wet-handling reserves.

Key Differences

• Overall results: Bridgestone finishes 1st/55, 3rd/31, 3rd/22, 6th/52 vs Ceat's 10th/31, 15th/22, 19th/52, 24th/55
• Wet safety: Blizzak 6 wins all shared wet braking tests (≈5-11% shorter) and leads wet circle/handling and aquaplaning
• Snow control: Blizzak 6 leads snow braking/handling; Ceat edges snow traction in select tests
• Ice performance: Ceat posts shorter ice braking in ADAC; Bridgestone close but behind there
• Dry behaviour: Ceat occasionally shorter dry stops; Bridgestone superior dry handling precision
• Running costs: Ceat markedly cheaper purchase price and low noise; Bridgestone lower rolling resistance; wear advantage varies by test

Overall Winner: Bridgestone Blizzak 6

Based on the tyre test data and user reviews we have in our database, the Bridgestone Blizzak 6 has demonstrated better overall performance in this comparison.

Footnote

This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.

Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
