The Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 RFT was created to provide drivers with safety and the possibility to finish road trips in winter even after a puncture or air loss. The tire also has excellent both dry and wet weather traction features which makes it a decent choice for all seasons.

Tread Pattern & Technical Specs

The Blizzak LM-25 RFT (Run-Flat) is Bridgestone’s Performance Winter / Snow tire primarily intended for drivers of BMW Z4 roadsters, 1-, 3-, 5-, 6-, and 7-Series sedans, and Nissan GT-R supercars. It is developed to provide temporary self-supporting run-flat persistent mobility in the case of complete air loss due to a puncture during winter driving.

LM-25 RFT Performance by Blizzak Winter tires provides enough traction on dry, wet, and snow-covered roads while retaining the vehicle’s sporty look and agility.

The Blizzak LM-25 RFT winter tires have a directed tread pattern to improve hydroplaning resistance on slushy and rainy roads and rounded tread shoulders to enhance handling on both dry and wet surfaces. As opposed to the Multicell tread compounds used on other Blizzak winter tires, their tread compound has a high silica component.

This enables the Blizzak LM-25 RFT tires to combine H- and V-speed rated longevity with winter traction. The independent block tread design of the Blizzak LM-25 RFT tires uses the Lamellen “edge effect,” which uses several biting edges in the tread blocks to better grab snow and ice, providing winter traction without using conventional metal studs.

The entire combination of features found in the Blizzak LM-25 RFT winter tire is achieved by Bridgestone’s UNI-T technology, which combines cutting-edge tire technologies and boosts performance. Innovative tire construction, design, and tread composition work together to enhance performance, ride quality, and wear while maintaining traction in winter.

The three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) logo and severe snow service standards are also included on the Blizzak LM-25 RFT winter tires.

The Blizzak LM-25 RFT tire’s tread wear reaches the point where the remaining tread depth becomes less effective in deep snow, special indicators (the equivalent of snow wear bars) are molded into the tire’s tread grooves to inform the driver when ice and snow traction will be diminished.

Bridgestone recommends only using Blizzak LM-25 RFT tires in sets of four to achieve optimal handling characteristics and tire performance due to the traction capabilities of the tire.

Wet performance
