Bridgestone Blizzak LM 001: Ultimate Winter Performance for Passenger Cars
Innovative Design for Diverse Weather Conditions
Experience the cutting-edge technology of the Bridgestone Blizzak LM 001, a tire meticulously engineered to ensure superior safety and performance amidst today's unpredictable weather patterns. Whether you're driving under sunny skies or through snow-laden roads, this tire promises reliable traction and control.
Enhanced Safety on Wet Surfaces
The Blizzak LM 001 features rounded tread blocks that optimize water flow, significantly improving water evacuation and enhancing wet surface safety. This design minimizes turbulence within the tread, providing a more secure driving experience in rainy conditions.
Superior Grip in Snow and Slush
With an increased transverse groove volume that widens towards the tire shoulder, the Blizzak LM 001 offers exceptional protection against aquaplaning. The innovative 3D sipes provide a perfect blend of high grip and excellent handling, ensuring the tire maintains high rigidity and grip on snowy surfaces.
Improved Traction and Shorter Braking Distances on Snow
Trapezoidal transverse grooves enhance traction and braking performance for safe driving on snow-covered roads. These grooves compact the snow more effectively, allowing for better interlocking and increased safety.
Extended Tread Life
A uniform stiffness distribution within the tread reduces slippage and wear, ensuring a longer tire lifespan. With the Bridgestone Blizzak LM 001, you can enjoy a reliable and durable performance throughout the winter season.
Bridgestone Blizzak LM001
Precision steering
High cornering stability
Superb grip on snow
The brand new Blizzak LM001 combines new innovations in tread and materials technology to deliver the safety and performance you need in today’s increasingly unpredictable world. Confidently hit the road in any winter weather: from sunny to snowy to everything in between.
BRAKING AND HANDLING ON SNOW 3D sipe application with new pattern design balance pattern stiffness without reducing sipe flexibility. High-volume slanted grooves create high snow-to-snow shear force for outstanding traction on snow-covered surfaces.
HANDLING, STABILITY AND CONTROL IN WET Rounded corner junctions improve flow of water and slush. Tapered horn lugs clear the patch area quickly, increasing road contact and control even further.
EXCELLENT WEAR RESISTANCE AND DURABLE PERFORMANCE NanoPro-Tech polymers assure an optimal silica distribution resulting in a flexible compound also in cold weather conditions, maintaining the best grip and contact with road over a wider range of temperatures.
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
