Bridgestone Firestone North America Adds New Winter Tires - Cool - Autochannel (press release)
” Many of these winter tires are also Run-Flat tires, which provide an added benefit by allowing drivers to travel up to 50 miles at 50 mph after loss of air. The Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 is a uni-directional, studless winter tire developed for high-performance vehicles. The Blizzak LM-22 provides well-balanced overall performance in winter and in wet or dry conditions. The uni-directional tread pattern features super-slant grooves to reduce the risk of hydroplaning, while the tread compound’s high silica content enhances both winter and wet performance. The Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 (conventional and RFT fitments) with UNI-T, a directional, studless H- and V-speed rated winter tire, delivers excellent snow and ice traction for high-performance vehicles. With its 3D sipes, the Blizzak LM-25 provides great dry performance, and the UNI-T technology provides well-balanced performance in wet conditions. With a winning combination of technologies, the Bridgestone Blizzak DM-Z3 with UNI-T technology handles ice and snow conditions. The 3D sipes enhance dry performance while UNI-T technology combined with silica helps keep traction strong in wet conditions.
