The Bridgestone Blizzak LM60 automotive tire was specifically designed for winter use on small crossovers and SUVs. Each unit undergoes balance control, which ensures high operational and technical characteristics in extreme conditions.
The special shape and mutual arrangement of the tread lugs provide optimal traction on the road, regardless of the presence of snow, water, or mud. For stabilizing straight-line movement, a wide drainage channel is provided in the center of the tread, which is quickly cleared of snow or mud and also quickly drains water.
The advantages of the wide channel are evident in the case of movement in unfavorable weather conditions, allowing you to freely overcome sections of the road covered with a mixture of mud, water, and snow crust. In this case, the slushy mixture is quickly removed from the contact area, which minimizes the risk of slushplaning and provides reliable control and steering accuracy.
Considering the conditions of winter operation, the Bridgestone Blizzak LM60 tire is made based on silicone-rubber polymers, and to ensure load-bearing characteristics, powerful rigid shoulder zones are used in the tread design. These side blocks stabilize the car's stability during turns and also protect the tread from excessive wear.
Despite all the design tricks, it is necessary to exercise special caution when driving on ice, when the coefficient of friction with the road surface is very weak. In this case, it is advisable to use anti-ice chains for tires.
A special cord winding scheme provides high tensile strength and protection against mechanical damage and cuts.
The characteristic directionality of the tread pattern allows for effective suppression of acoustic noises and vibrations, which significantly increases the level of comfort.
