The Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 is a high-quality winter tire that offers not only decent winter features but excellent wet traction and hydroplaning resistance together with great dry traction and performance. The tires provide a smooth ride with low noise levels for the driver and passengers who are used to comfort during the voyage.

Tread Pattern & Technical Specs

For sports automobiles, sporty coupes, and performance sedans, Bridgestone developed the Blizzak LM-32 performance winter/snow tire. The Blizzak LM-32 tires were initially produced in sizes for the four-door Aston Martin Rapide sports cars, but they are now offered in a variety of sizes to assist drivers to retain the sporty appearance and wintertime mobility of their vehicles by providing traction on cold, dry, wet, and snow-covered roads.

Unique polymer technology is incorporated into the tread compound of the Blizzak LM-32 tires to improve traction in cold conditions. This material is sculpted into a directional pattern to provide solid grip and braking traction in cold weather conditions while also providing hydroplaning resistance on wet and slush-covered surfaces.

While stepped independent tread blocks using Lamellen edge effect sipes increase the amount of biting edges to boost grip in snow and on ice, rounded shoulders improve dry and wet road handling. This enables the H-, V-, or W-speed rated Blizzak LM-32 tires to combine winter traction with high-performance features.

The three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) logo and severe snow service standards are both present on Blizzak LM-32 winter tires.

The Blizzak LM-32 tread grooves have snow platform indicators (the equivalent of snow wear bars) etched into them to notify the driver when their capacity to keep traction in deep snow and ice will be reduced as a result of the tire’s treadwear.

Wet performance

The Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 is a high-quality tire that offers excellent wet traction. The tires grip the ground well in wet conditions, and their hydroplaning resistance makes it possible to drive through puddles without grip loss. Overall, the Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 is a great choice for wet weather driving conditions.

Dry performance

The Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 is a great tire for driving on a dry surface. They have excellent traction and handling, the same goes for cornering and stopping. They do tend to be a little noisy on dry pavement but overall do not create discomfort. If you’re looking for great dry traction you should pay attention to Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32.

Comfort performance

The Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 is a tire that delivers excellent comfort providing a smooth and quiet ride. The noise level at high speed remains decent, there only may be a slight hum when slowing down, but the driver and passengers won`t have to worry about acoustic comfort.

Winter & snow performance

The Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 is a good choice for anyone looking for improved snow and ice performance. The tire demonstrates decent acceleration, cornering, and handling whether it’s snow or ice on its way. They also provide enough traction in light snow conditions. Even in deep snow, the Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 can claw through the pack of snow and ice without getting stuck.

Summary

The Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 is a good tire that offers excellent wet and dry traction, comfort, and winter performance. The only downside is the slight hum that can be heard when the vehicle slows down. Overall, the Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 is a decent choice for anyone looking for a good winter tire.
