Bridgestone Blizzak LM005

The Bottom Line

The Blizzak LM005 is well-suited for drivers who prioritize snow traction and want a tire with a long treadwear warranty. However, its wet grip performance is a notable shortcoming compared to other winter tires.

Important Note

Wet grip is subpar for a winter tire, which could be a concern in rainy or slushy winter conditions.

Pros

  • Snow traction score of 8 provides reliable performance in moderate snow conditions.
  • Handling score of 7.5 makes it responsive for a winter tire, beneficial for drivers who need precise control.

Cons
