The Bridgestone Blizzak LM35 winter passenger tire was developed with the climatic conditions of Central and Western Europe in mind. This somewhat limits its use in our country, where it is suitable for operation in the southern regions. For a "mild" winter, this model is ideal, thanks to the use of advanced technologies and materials.
Asymmetric Tread Pattern
One of the applications of modern technology is the tread pattern of the Bridgestone Blizzak LM35, made in the "fashionable" asymmetric design. It was developed in "digital", i.e. using computer modeling technologies. It is these technologies that have given the tire such a "signature" feature as the perfect balance between all the main operational properties. To achieve this, artificial intelligence divided the tread into several functional zones, each of which performs a strictly defined set of tasks.
Optimized Profile and Reinforced Breaker Bridgestone Blizzak LM35
One of the characteristic features of this model is the square shape of the contact patch, which does not change its geometric parameters even under strong influence of multidirectional acceleration forces. In motion, this manifests itself in the form of stable traction properties, reliable and predictable handling. It was possible to ensure this property due to the optimized tread profile of the Bridgestone Blizzak LM35 and a rigid "substrate" in the form of an additional layer of breaker made of synthetic cord.
Several Thousand Lamellas
In the absence of studs, a significant part of the traction properties is ensured by the edges created by lamellas cut into all tread blocks. Due to the dense arrangement, the number of such edges is counted in thousands. This is more than enough to fully compensate for the lack of studs. At the same time, the multidirectional arrangement of the lamellas provides additional reliability and stability to the traction properties on ice.
Main Features:
- an asymmetric tread pattern containing several functional zones, boasts excellent performance on any winter roads;
- a practically square contact patch shape that remains unchanged under the influence of multidirectional acceleration forces, improves handling and also prevents uneven wear;
- several thousand traction edges formed by numerous lamellas provide excellent traction on ice and rolled snow.
