Bridgestone 015049 Blizzak LM005 265/45R20 108T XL Winter Performance Tire

The Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 is a premium studless performance winter tire engineered for drivers of sports cars, sporty coupes, performance sedans, CUVs, and SUVs. Designed to deliver confident grip, control, and shorter stopping distances on wet, dry, icy, slushy, and snow-covered roads, the LM005 is Bridgestone's top-tier winter tire for demanding cold-weather driving conditions.

Key Features:

• NanoPro-Tech Compound: Bridgestone's advanced high-silica nano-selective compound mixing technology improves silica dispersion for enhanced flexibility in cold temperatures, delivering superior grip and braking performance on wet and wintry surfaces.
• 2D and 3D Sipe Technology: A combination of 2D sipes in the center tread and 3D interlocking sipes in the shoulder area provides excellent surface adhesion, reduced stopping distances on snow and ice, and increased lateral stability during cornering.
• Directional Zig-Zag Groove Pattern: Angular zig-zag grooves trap snow between the tread and road surface, enhancing snow-on-snow grip and biting edges for additional winter traction.
• Strong Lateral Voids: Wide lateral voids efficiently evacuate water and slush from the contact patch, improving hydroplaning resistance in wet conditions.
• Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) Certified: Meets industry severe snow service requirements, qualifying for the 3PMSF symbol and M+S rating.
• Winter Wear Indicators: Bridgestone-molded Snow Platforms (Winter Wear Indicators) built into the main tread grooves alert drivers when tread depth has worn to a point of reduced winter effectiveness.
• Extra Rim Protection Edge: An additional rubber edge helps guard wheel rims against scratches and curb damage.
