The Bridgestone Blizzak LM 001 Evo is a passenger car winter tyre developed in 2017 by Japanese tyre technologists. This tyre is an improved version of its predecessor, the 2014 Blizzak LM 001. It has been highly praised by expert panels and reputable publications in Europe. This tyre demonstrates a 3% shorter braking distance on winter roads and a 4% lower noise level. The LM001 Evo outperforms its predecessor by 14% in terms of longevity.
One of the most distinctive features is its safe driving capability in difficult weather conditions. This model is well-suited for driving in Central and Northern European climates.
