The Blizzak LM005 is Bridgestone's Performance Winter/Snow tire designed for the drivers of sports cars, sporty coupes, performance sedans, and CUVs looking to maintain their vehicle's appearance, handling, and mobility during the winter months by providing optimum traction on dry, wet and snow-covered roads.
The Blizzak LM005 features an advanced rubber compound using Bridgestone's high-silica NanoPro-Tech™ technology, molded into a directional pattern, including 2D and 3D sipes for excellent surface adhesion and optimum dry grip and braking traction. The sipe configuration also provides for improved acceleration, shorter stopping distance, and increased lateral stability when cornering in various wet and wintry conditions. Strong lateral voids enhance the evacuation of water for hydroplaning resistance, while zig-zag grooves trap snow and provide biting edges for additional winter grip.
The tire's internal structure includes a single-ply polyester casing, two steel belts, and a nylon reinforcement for increased steering response & high-speed capability.
Blizzak LM005 winter tires meet the industry's severe snow service requirements and are branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.
To help drivers know when it's time to replace their winter tires, Bridgestone molds Winter Wear Indicators (also known as Snow Platforms) into the Blizzak LM005's main tread grooves. The Snow Platforms identify when winter traction will be reduced due to the tire's tread wearing down to the point where the remaining depth becomes less effective at digging through snow, gripping icy roads or coping with slushy conditions.
Install Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 tires in sets of four only.
Due to the traction capabilities of the Blizzak LM005, Bridgestone recommends using Blizzak LM005 tires in sets of four to provide the best handling characteristics and tire performance.
