The winter non-studded tire Bridgestone Blizzak LM18 was developed with consideration of the specific features of European winters, which are commonly referred to as "mild". In our country, such climatic conditions are characteristic of the southern regions, where this model is a very attractive option.
Optimized tread with three-dimensional lamellae
This tire is equipped with a tread featuring a V-shaped design, characterized by an increased number of gripping edges. In turn, the slits cut into the blocks, known as lamellae, provide confidence when driving on icy surfaces. At the same time, the numerous protrusions on their walls, limiting the mobility of the blocks when in contact with the road surface, improve handling, both on ice and asphalt.
Improved traction in severe frost
The tread of this model is made from a compound that remains elastic at low temperatures. This feature is due to the presence of a large amount of silica and special functional polymers in its composition, ensuring the uniformity of the rubber mixture.
Key features:
- tread with an increased number of gripping edges;
- silica-based rubber compound remains elastic in severe frost.
