Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 OVERVIEW The Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 is a performance and high performance, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. The tire improves its winter weather performance with the ideal grip the tire has on the ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. The model was manufactured with a high polymer tire compound that keeps its flexibility in cold temperatures, while the directional tread pattern with the detailed siping design increases the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. The circumferential and angled lateral grooves enhance the hydroplaning resistance. They channel water and slush from the footprint to ensure the tire’s constant road contact. This combination guarantees the tire’s secure winter weather driving capability. The model’s tread design improves its controllability. The directional tread pattern and the stronger tire compound work together to upgrade the braking capability. The friction they create increases the braking power and reduces the braking distance. The larger shoulder tread block pattern heightens the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, boosting the cornering and maneuvering ability. The continuous center rib’s maintained road surface contact improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. They increase the steering responsiveness and accuracy to the driver’s commands, while stabilizing the structure. The better control over the vehicle ensures a safer driving experience in all winter weather, even during the tire’s high speed performance. The Blizzak LM-32 was designed with special snow wear indicators. These tread elements are located on the tire’s tread design and visually portray the tread life left on the tires. They notify the driver when the tire’s snow traction is about to wear out, when the tire becomes unsafe to use on winter weather road surfaces. This increases the driving safety significantly. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
