Description
The new Blizzak LM-32 winter tyre from Bridgestone features a directional tread and combines outstanding control and optimal performance in all wintery conditions.
New 3D sipe technology was employed in the Blizzak LM-32, leading to an enormous improvement in the contact area and edge effect, thus guaranteeing an optimal winter performance. Increased block rigidity improves both the general handling properties and the stability of this winter tyre.
Furthermore, the use of a new silica-reinforced tread compound not only guarantees optimal performance in the wet, but also greater grip in all weather conditions. The tyre offers maximum stability and ultimate grip on snow and ice.
- Superior braking and cornering on snow and ice
- Designed for vans
- Confident handling in winter conditions
This tyre uses the RFT system. This means that, should there be a sudden loss of air, the tyre can still be controlled without any problems, mobility is retained, and it is not necessary to change the tyre on narrow or busy roads. Tyres with the RFT technology may only be used on cars with a functioning air pressure check system.
Manufacturer information
EU Tyre Label
The Tyre Labelling Regulation determines the information that must be provided with regard to tyres' fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise. Information is also provided on the product's performance in wintery driving conditions.
Regulation EU 1222/2009, which has been in force since 01/11/2012, has been revised and will be replaced from 1 May 2021 by Regulation EU 2020/740, from which point new standards will apply. The assessment categories for fuel efficiency, wet grip and external noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been changed accordingly. The manufacturers' product data sheets, stored in the EU database, can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. It also includes information on snow grip and ice grip for tyres that meet these criteria.
The following tyres are exempt from the regulation:
- Tyres designed to be fitted only to vehicles registered for the first time before 1 October 1990
- Remoulded tyres (until Regulation EU 2020/740 has been widened accordingly)
- Professional off-road tyres
- Racing tyres
- Tyres with additional devices to improve traction, e.g. studded tyres
- Temporary-use spare tyres (T-type tyres)
- Tyres with a speed rating below 80 km/h
- Tyres with a nominal rim diameter of 254 mm or less and 635 mm or more
