The Blizzak LM-32 is Bridgestone's Performance Winter / Snow tire designed for sports cars, sporty coupes and performance sedans. Originally introduced in sizes for Aston Martin Rapide four-door sports cars, Blizzak LM-32 tires are now available in a wide range of sizes designed to help drivers maintain their vehicle's sporty appearance and wintertime mobility by providing traction on cold, dry, wet and snow-covered roads.

Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32The tread compound of Blizzak LM-32 tires feature unique polymer technology to enhance cold weather traction. This compound is molded into a directional design to combine hydroplaning resistance on wet and slush-covered roads with confident grip and braking traction in cold wintry conditions. Rounded shoulders promote dry and wet road handling while stepped independent tread blocks employing Lamellen edge effect sipes increase the number of biting edges to enhance grip in snow and on ice. This allows Blizzak LM-32 tires to combine winter traction with H-, V- or W-speed rated capability.

Blizzak LM-32 winter tires meet the industry's severe snow service requirements and are branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.

NOTE: Snow platform indicators (the equivalent of snow wear bars) are molded into the Blizzak LM-32 tread grooves to inform the driver when ice and snow traction will be reduced as the tire's treadwear reaches the point where the remaining tread depth becomes less effective in deep snow.

Install Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 tires in sets of four only.

Due to the traction capabilities of the Blizzak LM-32, Bridgestone recommends using Blizzak LM-32 tires in sets of four to provide the best handling characteristics and tire performance.

...Driving in the rain - no issues with hydroplaning or breaking traction...

I just purchased these December 2016 for my Audi A4, which has the sports package (19" rims). I live in SF Bay Area and drive to Tahoe every weekend to ski. These handle fantastic in the snow and ice; hitting the brakes hard in the snow/ice and there is barely any slippage (< 25 mph). I drove through some hairy conditions today in Tahoe (Jan 22, 2017) and they were amazing. In addition, they are extremely quiet, more quiet than my all weather tires by Michelin. Dry handling is awesome as well. Driving in the rain - no issues with hydroplaning or breaking traction. I have pushed the car with these tires and without a doubt, I do not have any buyers remorse whatsoever and will purchase these again.

These tires greatly improved my snow traction and braking abilities over a set of all seasons. Incredible difference. They also have excellent dry weather traction even in very cold conditions. Cornering ability is lacking a little but not bad for snow tires. Tread wear seems great for aggressive driving and occasionally spinning the tires. Overall excellent winter/snow tire for New England conditions.

I've been using dedicated snowtires for years here in New England, usually on sports cars. In the past I've stuck w/Dunlop Winter tires (M2, Sport 3D) but decided to try Bridgestone given reputation. The tires are smooth, quiet, handle well for a snow tire on dry roads, and have great snow traction. Great tire for a HP/VR-rated snow.

I needed a tire to fit the stock rims for winter. These fit and worked awesome. I drive this Challenger year round here in Michigan. No issues. These tires work in the snow and in the dry.
They are very good and I recommend them to anyone with horse power in the snow.

...For a deeper treaded tire the road noise is negligible...

Very pleased with the tire. Probably would have used a slightly shorter sidewall from an appearance standpoint but the tire performs well. Haven’t had much snowfall this winter but the bit we’ve had has been no problem. For a deeper treaded tire the road noise is negligible.
Unfortunately the only garage willing to install a customer’s own tires was bought out and the charge increased dramatically, so in the end I realized voles in savings.

...Compared to DWS, LM-32 has more of a comfortable ride. The Bumps are well absorbed. Barely noticeable delay in handling probably due to soft side wall which I think improved the comfort of the vehicles...

I researched tires for my car which previously have Potenza 970 AS. I just experienced the worst winter since 95 in Boston. My Potenza had been impotent in winter condition so I decided to replace it initially with another A/S tires. I went with Continental Extreme Contact DWS A/S which is actually good in after Snow storm condition. But me and my wife are Essential workers which meant that no Snow days for us, Blizzard or not we are required to work. The DWS failed me during one of the blizzard these past 3 weeks so I went and returned it to the tire shop. I decided to have LM-32 instead. Good reviews too. It was snowing the day I got the tires. I immediately tested it on winter conditions. I came away very impressed, at least initially. Compared to DWS, LM-32 has more of a comfortable ride. The Bumps are well absorbed. Barely noticeable delay in handling probably due to soft side wall which I think improved the comfort of the vehicles. It grips Excellently on winter roads. Snow or just frozen/cold asphalt. It is amazing. It breeds confidence. I read about the guy who travels at 70 mph, who does that in a storm? The most I do is 45 mph. Running over occasional snow on the road is effortless on this tires. Will update more as time goes by
