Bridgestone Blizzak LM001 RFT Tires

The Bridgestone Blizzak LM001 RFT is a performance, winter tire made for passenger vehicles.

The tire offers great winter weather traction. It utilizes the winter compound and detailed directional tread design in order to upgrade the winter, ice and snow surface grip. Durable compound elements enable the tire to increase the rubber flexibility in colder and freezing temperatures. The high-density siping placement firmly grip the road, in order to enhance surface traction. The angled variable-width grooves help to disperse water and slush from the footprint, avoiding hydroplaning as a result.

This model was made with Bridgestone’s run flat technology. This enables the tire’s limited, temporary performance once air pressure leaves the tire. In such instances, the tire can still be driven on for 50 miles, up to the speed of 50 mph. This prevents the vehicle from being stranded on the side of the road, instead, the vehicle can be driven to a nearby location where the damaged tire can be fixed or changed. Run flat tires should not be mounted on the same vehicle with regular tires.

The tread design and ideal tire shape, and their ideal road contact improve the road contact to improve comfort levels. The optimal road contact absorbs the shock of driving, decreasing the road vibrations felt by the passengers. As road disturbances do not reach the vehicle’s cabin, they are unable to ruin the passengers’ driving enjoyment. This enables the tire to significantly improve the tire’s driving comfort levels.

The directional tread design and its 3D sipe placement upgrade the grip on the road surface. This helps to upgrade the steering responsiveness and driving stability. On the other hand, the high-density placement of the 3D sipes manage to generate friction during braking. This significantly shortens the braking distance. This combination helps to upgrade the grip on the road surface, helping to improve the driver’s control over the vehicle throughout the performance.

The Bridgestone Blizzak LM001 RFT features tread wear indicators. They visually represent the treadwear rate on the tire. When the tread reaches the tread wear indicators, the tire is no longer safe to be used in winter weather conditions. This combination allows the tire to improve the driving safety levels.
