Description Bridgestone Blizzak LM001 Evo
Winter tire for passenger cars Bridgestone Blizzak LM001 Evo is designed for prolonged and intensive use on any snowy and icy roads. It belongs to the so-called "friction" models. It is distinguished by improved traction and coupling properties on any slippery surface, comfort of handling when maneuvering, fuel efficiency and extended service life.
The tread pattern is notable for the large number of V-shaped grooves. A large number of drainage elements directed against the direction of movement effectively prevent aquaplaning and slushplaning, ensuring reliable handling in adverse weather conditions. Another important feature of the tread pattern is the arrangement of blocks that form virtually continuous transverse edges. They increase traction and stability on snow. On more slippery icy surfaces, the effectiveness of the tread is maintained by numerous lamellas. The "three-dimensional" profile of the walls of these elements and the presence of special notches - "activators" - increases the stability of the coupling properties and the accuracy of handling on ice. In the central part, due to the dense arrangement of blocks, a solid longitudinal rib is formed, which reduces rolling resistance and prevents rapid wear of the tread.
The tire uses a number of "proprietary" solutions characteristic of this Japanese brand. First and foremost, it is an reinforced sidewall construction. It is designed to maintain integrity under extremely high dynamic loads, thanks to which the tire can withstand even the most significant impacts when driving over rough roads at high speed.
