Bridgestone 014299 Blizzak LM001 255/40R20 97W Winter Performance Tire

The Bridgestone Blizzak LM001 (255/40R20 97W) is a dedicated winter performance tire engineered for drivers of sports cars, performance sedans, and sporty coupes who demand confident handling and traction during the coldest months of the year. Carrying the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certification, it meets strict severe snow service requirements and delivers reliable performance on cold, wet, icy, slushy, and snow-covered road surfaces.

Key Features:

• Advanced Winter Tread Compound – Specially formulated rubber stays pliable at subfreezing temperatures for enhanced grip and braking on ice and snow
• 3D Sipes – High-density, three-dimensional sipe placement improves cornering stability, shortens braking distances, and sharpens steering response on slippery surfaces
• Vari-Width Grooves – Angled variable-width grooves efficiently evacuate water and slush from the contact patch, reducing the risk of hydroplaning
• Rounded Corner Junctions – Smooth tread block corner transitions improve water and slush flow around the footprint for enhanced wet-road control
• Tapered Horn Lugs – Quickly clear the contact patch, increasing road contact and delivering greater stability during cornering
• High-Volume Slanted Grooves – Create strong snow-to-snow shear force for outstanding traction on packed and loose snow
• Treadwear Indicators – Built-in indicators provide a clear visual signal when the tire has worn to its winter-use limit
• Original Equipment (OE) Fitment – Approved as original equipment on select performance vehicles

The Blizzak LM001 in size 255/40R20 carries a load index of 97 (1,609 lbs per tire) and a W speed rating (up to 168 mph), making it well-suited for high-performance applications. With a black sidewall (BSW) finish and a 5-year manufacturer's warranty, this tire delivers the precision and confidence performance drivers expect without sacrificing winter capability.
