Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22

Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22

Blizzak LM-22 studless winter tires were developed to combine good snow & ice traction with European high-speed winter driving performance. Available in low profile, H-speed rated sizes; Blizzak LM-22 tires are for the drivers of high performance sport cars, sport coupes & sport sedans who require winter driving traction on dry, wet & snow-covered roads.
Blizzak LM-22 studless winter tires feature a directional tread design to enhance hydroplaning resistance on wet & slush-covered roads with rounded tread shoulders to enhance dry & 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 tires to combine winter traction with H-speed rated durability (current Multicell compounds can not support 130 mph H-speed ratings). The Blizzak LM-22 tires feature an independent block tread design which employs the Lamellen "edge effect" (multiple biting edges in the tread blocks to help grip snow & ice) to enhance winter traction without resorting to traditional metal studs.
The Blizzak LM-22 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 & tread compound help maximize the tire’s performance, ride quality & wear while providing traction in winter.
Blizzak LM-22 winter tires meet the industry’s severe snow service requirements & are branded with the snowflake-on-the-mountain symbol. They feature blackwall styling & are available in H-speed rated, 55- through 40-series, 15" - 17" wheel diameter sizes.
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 & 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 Blizzak LM-22 tires in sets of four only.
Due to the traction capabilities of the Blizzak LM-22, Bridgestone recommends using Blizzak LM-22 tires only in sets of four to provide the best handling characteristics & tire performance.
