Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 RFT |
 |
The Blizzak LM-22 RFT
(Run-Flat) is Bridgestone's Performance Winter tire designed
to provide temporary self-supporting run-flat continuing
mobility in the case of complete air loss due to a puncture
during winter driving exclusively for the drivers of sporty
BMW Z4 Roadsters and 3-Series sedans. Blizzak LM-22 RFT
Performance Winter tires allow drivers to maintain their
vehicle's sporty appearance and mobility while providing
winter driving traction on dry, wet and snow-covered roads.

Blizzak LM-22 RFT winter tires feature a directional tread
design to enhance hydroplaning resistance on wet and
slush-covered roads with rounded tread shoulders to enhance
dry and wet road handling. Their tread compound has a high
silica content instead of the Multicell tread compounds used
on other Blizzak winter tires. This allows Blizzak LM-22 RFT
tires to combine winter traction with H-and V-speed rated
durability (current Multicell compounds can support 99 mph
Q-speed ratings). The Blizzak LM-22 RFT tires feature an
independent block tread design which employs the Lamellen
"edge effect" (multiple biting edges in the tread blocks to
help grip snow and ice) to enhance winter traction without
resorting to traditional metal studs.
The Blizzak LM-22 RFT winter tire's overall combination of
capabilities is made possible by Bridgestone's UNI-T
technology that brings advanced tire technologies together,
taking performance to a new level. Innovative tire design,
construction and tread compound help maximize the tire's
performance, ride quality and wear while providing traction
in winter.
Blizzak LM-22 RFT winter tires meet the industry's severe
snow service requirements and are branded with the
snowflake-on-the-mountain symbol.
NOTE: Snow platform indicators (the equivalent of snow wear
bars) are molded into the Blizzak LM-22's tread grooves to
inform the driver when ice and snow traction will be reduced
as the tire's tread wear reaches the point where the
remaining tread depth becomes less effective in deep snow.
Install Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 RFT tires in sets of four
only.
Due to the traction capabilities of the Blizzak LM-22 RFT,
Bridgestone recommends using Blizzak LM-22 RFT tires only in
sets of four to provide the best handling characteristics
and tire performance.. |
