Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60 RFT
The Blizzak
LM-60 RFT is Bridgestone''s Performance Winter / Snow
run-flat tire developed exclusively for Mini Cooper, Mazda
MX-5 and Lexus IS coupe and convertible models, as well as
for BMW X5 sport activity vehicle and BMW X6 sport activity
coupe drivers looking to combine winter driving traction on
dry, wet and snow-covered roads with temporary extended
mobility for a distance of 50 miles at up to 50 mph even
after a puncture has allowed complete air pressure loss. The
Blizzak LM-60 RFT is designed to combine the basic tread
design of the Blizzak WS60 RFT with a high silica tread
compound to blend high-speed durability and dry-road cold
weather handling with snow traction.

Since the current Multicell tread compounds used on Blizzak
winter / snow tires are not designed to support H-speed
ratings or run-flat operation, the Blizzak LM-60 RFT uses a
high silica content winter / snow tread compound molded into
a directional tread design that features independent tread
blocks with 3-D zigzag sipes to disperse water away from the
tire''s contact patch, further enhancing grip. The
combination provides hydroplaning resistance and greater
driving and braking force on snow-covered roads.
Featuring Bridgestone''s UNI-T Technology, the Blizzak LM-60
RFT''s internal structure includes twin steel belts
reinforced by spirally wound nylon to provide the desired
high-speed durability and ride characteristics. The internal
structure has been specifically tuned on a size by size
basis for the vehicles listed above and features Bridgestone
Side Support Run-Flat technology reinforced sidewalls to
support the vehicle after a puncture causes a loss of air
pressure.
Blizzak LM-60 RFT winter / snow tires meet the industry''s
severe snow service requirements and are branded with the
mountain/snowflake symbol.
When the Blizzak LM-60 RFT is approximately 50 percent worn,
a depth indicator molded into the tread design lets the
driver know that the remaining tread is reaching the end of
its ability to provide beneficial snow traction.
Install Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60 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.
