Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 SLT + 235/50 R20 100T

The Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 SLT + winter tire is specifically designed for SUVs and crossovers. It is intended for use in harsh climatic conditions in territories located north of the Arctic Circle. On any winter road, it stands out for its stability of grip, precision in handling, and efficiency in braking.

Reliability in bad weather conditions

The directional tread pattern is dotted with numerous drainage grooves, many of which are directed against the direction of movement. In combination with the increased width of the elements, this allows the tread to very effectively drain not only water but also a heavy mixture of meltwater, snow, and road slush from the contact patch.

Improved snow passing ability

The tread pattern is distinguished by the distribution of blocks in groups, which form a large number of very long high edges with a V-shaped arrangement. This solution allows the traction effort to be very effectively implemented on unstable loose surfaces, primarily on snow.

Several types of lamellas

The tread contains many lamellas with different profiles of vertical walls. Some of them are made "three-dimensional", which increases the rigidity of the blocks, leading to improved handling and more effective braking. 2D-lamellas, forming extended zigzag edges, allow for much more intense acceleration and deceleration on rolled snow and ice.

Improved rubber compound

This model is beneficially distinguished by the use of the Nano Pro-Tech rubber compound. Its composition is based on silica, the amount of which has been increased due to the use of special polymers and special technologies for manufacturing the compound. This rubber compound not only remains elastic at extremely low temperatures but also retains resistance to abrasive wear and prolonged heating.

Main features of Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 SLT +

- a large number of long high V-shaped edges allows for effective implementation of traction on snow;
- increased density of block arrangement in the central part reduces rolling resistance and wear, improves handling and stability at high speed;
- several types of lamellas provide reliability in handling on slippery snowy and icy surfaces;
- the number and direction of drainage grooves against the direction of movement allow the tread to intensively drain water and its heavy mixture with meltwater and road slush from the contact patch.
