Bridgestone 011980 Blizzak LM001 225/60R17 99H XL Winter Passenger Tire

The Bridgestone Blizzak LM001 (225/60R17 99H XL) is a studless performance winter tire engineered for drivers of performance sedans and coupes. Designed to deliver confident traction and control across wet, dry, icy, slushy, and snowy surfaces, the Blizzak LM001 is also an Original Equipment (OE) tire on select vehicles — a testament to its engineering pedigree.

Advanced Winter Technology:

• Advanced Winter Tread Compound — Specially formulated to maintain rubber flexibility in cold and freezing temperatures, ensuring consistent grip where standard tires stiffen and lose traction.
• 3D Multi-Cell Sipes — High-density three-dimensional siping placement firmly grips the road surface to enhance traction on snow and ice and improve steering response.
• Variable-Width Grooves — Angled variable-width grooves efficiently channel water and slush away from the contact patch, reducing hydroplaning risk and improving wet-surface braking.
• Round Corner Junctions — Optimized contact patch geometry promotes even tread wear and consistent road contact for improved ride comfort and handling precision.
• Directional Tread Design — Engineered directional pattern works in combination with the sipe layout to maximize snow and ice surface grip while promoting predictable cornering.
• Tread Wear Indicators — Built-in visual indicators show when the tire has reached the end of its safe winter service life.
