Product 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 205/45R17 88V XL
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).

I travel roughly 4000 miles a year since I have two sets of wheels and tyres. I had one week of snow, and the tyres were fine.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 205/45R17 88V XL
The tyres have offered reliable traction in all weather conditions to date. I have no way to comment in how they would handle snow, though, since I have not had any snow to test them in yet.

Excellent traction in rain and slush/snow/ice. They can be a bit loud on concrete, but also do well in the summer.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 205/45R17 88V XL
Did not experience aquaplaning during my recent drive through Ireland, even when it was raining heavily. They give good traction going round corners and manage to slip very little on slippery roads.

I got these for the snow in Scotland in January. I always use snow tyres in the winter and these gave me my best grip so far.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 205/45R17 88V XL
As promised, performance is solid, with great grip in the snow and rain. Noise was initially louder, but after a nice long drive, it quieted down a bit.
