Bridgestone Blizzak LM-50 RFT |
 |
The Blizzak
LM-50 RFT (Run-Flat) is Bridgestone's Studless 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 Toyota Sienna vans. Blizzak LM-50 RFT Studless Winter
tires allow drivers to maintain their Toyota Sienna's
mobility while providing winter driving traction on dry, wet
and snow-covered roads.
Vehicle Application Tire Size
Toyota Sienna P225/60R17 98Q
On the outside, the Blizzak LM-50 RFT shares the popular
Blizzak WS-50's symmetric tread design that features
flow-through grooves to help maintain good traction on wet
and slush-covered roads while zigzag sipes and independent
tread blocks provide the edges to help bite through snow.
However, the Blizzak LM-50 RFT exchanges the Blizzak WS-50's
Multicell compound for a more robust winter tread compound
that can endure the additional stress and heat of being
driven when flat. Even though these tires feature a single
winter tread compound, they feature "snow platform" tread
depth indicators to identify when the tire should be retired
from winter service. The Blizzak LM-50 RFT tire's internal
structure incorporates run-flat sidewall supports to
temporarily carry the load in the event of air loss.
Bridgestone's Ultimate Network of Intelligent Tire
Technology (UNI-T) brings advanced tire technologies
together, taking tire performance to a new level. This
combination of innovative tire design, roundness and tread
compound maximizes the tire's performance, ride quality and
wear.
Blizzak LM-50 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 LM-50 RFT'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-50 RFT tires in sets of four
only.
Due to the traction capabilities of the Blizzak, Bridgestone
recommends using Blizzaks only in sets of four to provide
the best handling characteristics and tire performance. |
