Blizzak LM005 Tyres description & features

The Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 is a winter tyre for passenger vehicles that focuses on preventing sliding while braking on wet pavement and on snow. It uses a high-silica tread that is flexible in low temperatures. Its Nano Pro-Tech distributes small amounts of silica throughout the tyre making it grip wet pavement. The LM005 utilises high density 3D sipes. Goroves sipes run front to back to channel water out of the tyre.

The LM005 is the successor of the Blizzak LM001 in Bridgestone's European winter range. Upon its launch in 2019, Bridgestone called it the first winter tyre to receive the EU wet-grip label of A. Bridgestone also claims that the LM005's V-shaped tread channels water from the centre and along the sides, creating a path for water to evacuate from the tyre. At Tyres.co.uk, we have stock of the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005.

Highlights

  • High-silica tread for low temperatures
  • High-density 3D sipes
  • V-shaped tread channels water

Tyre review for Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 225/45R17
At the moment I have no complaints. I especially appreciate the quietness, and the grip is much improved on the cold, wet and icy, ungritted roads & tracks typical of the Scottish Borders.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 225/45R17
Handled brilliantly in the recent snow. Very stable on snowy roads, with a tiny bit of slip for movement. Excellent performance in heavy rain, not a hint of aquaplaning even with plenty of water on the road. Slightly noisy and a bit unsteady initially, but increasing the tyre pressure sorted it out.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 205/45R17
The Blizzak tyres have been excellent in our Scottish weather, dealing with both rain, and snow. The car stays very stable to the road. I was able to drive our Volvo XC70 and a Skoda Octavia without any issues, and the temperatures were between -10C to -17C, with long stretches of ice. Both vehicles have these tyres. The Skoda has the run flat version, which does well in bad weather, but they give a firmer and less smooth ride (The RF version is handy if you don't have a spare).

Excellent performance in winter conditions both day and night. Good in the wet, though some grip is lost in dry conditions and warmer temperatures with hard revving, but that is to be expected as this is a winter tyre.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 225/45R17
These tyres allow us to drive through snow and ice-covered hills safely. On the rare occasions when it snows, we've been able to get our automatic car up the hills and come to a stop without any issues. I chose these Michelin tyres over other winter tyres because they are good in the rain. I've only got a smaller set of spare wheels for them so I use them for about four months in the winter. They also don't feel too soft when the temperature is above 10 degrees, in contrast to other winter tyres that I have tried which tend to feel quite soft when it warm out.

In the dry and wet when it's cold, these tyres usually perform well. I do have my doubts about how any other tyre would have better handled performing poorly, however, on icy surfaces.

I typically go with the Contitech Winter Contact tyres for winter, but this time I wanted to try the Bridgestone Blizzaks. Even though we didn't get any snow this winter, there were a lot of extreme cold spells. With these tyres, I was able to drive with the same confidence as I do in dry conditions with summer tyres.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 225/55R19
While winter tyres are a big plus, drivers should still be aware of road and weather conditions and drive in a safe and responsible manner. Winter tyres also provide valuable benefits for wet stopping distance. They also excel in the winter snow and ice driving conditions. I have extensive experience driving in winter conditions and find the advantages of winter tyres to be clear. I prefer to stay at home in winter driving conditions, not due to a winter tyre deficiency, but for driver safety if snow banks are piled higher than my front bumper. I've also noticed no change in fuel economy.

I was able to drive through the unmarked snow of the Pyrenees mountains which was about 30 centimetres deep (I had the Quattro chains on the front) and I must say that the tyres came through for me. The way they dealt with the snow was nothing short of incredible and when I returned to everyday driving in the UK, there was absolutely no difference.
