Bridgestone Blizzak LM20 195/60 R15 88T

The winter tire Bridgestone Blizzak LM20 has had a huge impact on the formation of the current popularity of models of the now world-famous line of tires from the Japanese manufacturer. It has proven that excellent ice traction is possible without studs. The use of a range of innovative technologies and modern materials has made it possible to abandon them without compromising safety, which is at a very high level under any conditions.

Triangular blocks in the center of the tread

One of the characteristic features of the tread pattern of the Bridgestone Blizzak LM20 model is the design of its central part. Its key element is a longitudinal rib that runs exactly in the middle. It has a composite, uninterrupted structure that contains many individual triangular blocks. This solution, on the one hand, has made it possible to reduce rolling resistance, and on the other hand, has improved directional stability, increasing longitudinal traction properties at the same time. In this regard, it is impossible not to note the presence of two more rows of individual blocks in the central part. Due to the significant distance between them, they provide the tire with good traction on snow.

At the same time, it is impossible not to note their original rhomboid shape with rounded corners, as well as their arrangement at an acute angle to the direction of movement. The combination of such design features, on the one hand, reduces rolling resistance, and on the other hand, reduces the level of noise and vibrations, increasing comfort on the go.

Short braking distance and stability in turns
In turn, the shoulder areas of the tread are made in an open design that contains many very wide rectangular blocks. When maneuvering, they provide the tire with increased stability, and when slowing down, they reduce the length of the braking distance due to the large number of very long transverse edges of the traction.

Key features of Bridgestone Blizzak LM20:

- several types of lamellas Bridgestone Blizzak LM20 completely offset the lack of studs in the form of excellent ice traction, and also, by increasing the stiffness of the blocks, improve handling;
- wide blocks in the shoulder areas increase stability when maneuvering, reduce the length of the braking distance;
- triangular blocks in the center of the tread improve longitudinal traction properties and directional stability.
