Bridgestone Blizzak LM32S

The Bridgestone Blizzak LM32S passenger car tire is positioned by the manufacturer as a model for so-called "mild" winters. It demonstrates its greatest efficiency on snowy and wet surfaces, distinguishing itself in such conditions with reliable traction, good traction, and intense braking, as well as resistance to mechanical damage.

The tread pattern is made in the classic design for winter tires. A solid longitudinal rib in the middle increases the stability of traction at high speeds, ensuring precise handling. The blocks are arranged in pairs, combining their transverse edges. This increases traction, and due to their inclination, reduces the risk of lateral skidding on snow. The blocks contain special slots - lamellas with sharpened saw-tooth edges. It is they that allow the tire to accelerate and brake intensively on wet and icy surfaces. The "three-dimensional" profile of the vertical walls of the lamellas increases the stability of the traction properties in such conditions.

The tread profile has an optimized shape in a special way. Thanks to this, the contact patch becomes elliptical. As a result, the stability of traction on dry surfaces increases, handling improves, rolling resistance decreases, and the process of abrasive wear of the tread slows down. Here, one cannot but note the presence of the tire's "signature" sidewalls with a rigid structure, which provides resistance to deformation, which additionally enhances these properties, in addition to the obvious advantage of excellent impact resistance.

Key Features of Bridgestone Blizzak LM32S

- a tread pattern with a V-shaped arrangement of grooves is effective on wet and snowy surfaces;
- a large number of "three-dimensional" lamellas provide good traction and intense braking on any slippery surface;
- an optimized tread profile, rigid sidewalls increase the stability of traction, provide comfort in handling, prevent rapid wear of the tire's tread, and reduce rolling resistance.
