Tire Description

The Blizzak LM-25 RFT (Run-Flat) is Bridgestone's Performance Winter tire designed to provide temporary self-supporting run-flat continuing mobility in the case of complete air loss due to a puncture during winter driving exclusively for the drivers of BMW 6-Series sedans and Mazda MX-5 Miata roadsters. Blizzak LM-25 RFT Performance Winter tires allow drivers to maintain their vehicle's sporty appearance and mobility while providing winter driving traction on dry, wet and snow-covered roads. Blizzak LM-25 RFT winter tires feature a directional tread design to enhance hydroplaning resistance on wet and slush-covered roads with rounded tread shoulders to enhance dry and wet road handling. Their tread compound has a high silica content instead of the Multicell tread compounds used on other Blizzak winter tires. This allows Blizzak LM-25 RFT tires to combine winter traction with H-and V-speed rated durability (current Multicell compounds can support 99 mph Q-speed ratings). The Blizzak LM-25 RFT tires feature an independent block tread design which employs the Lamellen "edge effect" (multiple biting edges in the tread blocks to help grip snow and ice) to enhance winter traction without resorting to traditional metal studs. The Blizzak LM-25 RFT winter tire's overall combination of capabilities is made possible by Bridgestone's UNI-T technology that brings advanced tire technologies together, taking performance to a new level. Innovative tire design, construction and tread compound help maximize the tire's performance, ride quality and wear while providing traction in winter. Blizzak LM-25 RFT winter tires meet the industry's severe snow service requirements and are branded with the snowflake-on-the-mountain symbol. NOTE: Snow platform indicators (the equivalent of snow wear bars) are molded into the Blizzak LM-25 RFT's tread grooves to inform the driver when ice and snow traction will be reduced as the tire's tread wear reaches the point where the remaining tread depth becomes less effective in deep snow. Install Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 RFT tires in sets of four only.

Customer Reviews

I have driven from Colorado to the Indiana Snow Belt and the European Alps on 5 different sets of snow tires on 3 different cars since 1995: Goodyear, Blizzak WS-50, Michelin Arctic Alpin, and Dunlop M3 tires, (3 of the 5 sets purchased from Tire Rack). I recently purchase a 2006 BMW 330i and the dealer offered a very good deal on a set of run flat Blizzak LM-25?s on a nice set of BMW alloy wheels (plus free storage of the summer wheels). I was reluctant at first because the Blizzak WS-50?s on my wife?s 96 Honda were very good in the snow and adequate for ice but mushy when pushed in the turns. When I looked at the side wall profile of the run flat LM-25 run flat tires and the tread design I realized this was a very different tire and decided to go for it. This car is still a blast to drive in the curves and high speed stability at 120MPH is excellent. This tire is very good in standing water and dry conditions with no noticeable difference in road noise. I have yet to drive these tires in the snow but the dry and wet handling characteristics of these tires are excellent with only marginally reduced performance from the V rated OEM tires. I will post another review when I have a chance to test these tires in the snow but I have confidence these tires will not be a disappointment based upon my previous experience with other snow tires and the technological advancements that have benefited this industry.
