The Blizzak LM001 is Bridgestone's Performance Winter / Snow tire designed for the drivers of sports cars, sporty coupes and performance sedans looking to maintain their vehicle's appearance, handling and mobility during the winter months by providing traction on cold, dry, wet and snow-covered roads.

The Blizzak LM001 features an advanced tread compound to enhance cold weather traction. This compound is molded into a directional design for improved evacuation of water and slush, aiding in confident grip and braking traction in cold, wet and wintry conditions. The Lamellen edge effect and 3D sipes improve winter traction without resorting to traditional metal studs. This allows Blizzak LM001 tires to combine winter traction with H-, V- or W-speed rated capability.

Blizzak LM001 winter tires meet the industry's severe snow service requirements and are branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.

To help drivers know when it's time to replace their winter tires, Bridgestone molds Winter Wear Indicators (also known as Snow Platforms) into the Blizzak LM001's main tread grooves to identify when winter traction will be reduced due to the tire's tread wearing down to the point where the remaining depth becomes less effective at digging through snow, gripping icy roads or coping with slushy conditions.

Install Bridgestone Blizzak LM001 tires in sets of four only.

Due to the traction capabilities of the Blizzak LM001, Bridgestone recommends using Blizzak LM001 tires in sets of four to provide the best handling characteristics and tire performance.

Great tire for heavy rain and snow. They don't wear as well as the summer tires, but that is to be expected.

Outstanding performance on snow and ice. Obviously you're not going to drive on snow and ice as if you were on dry pavement but used with care the tires are about as good as you'll get just short of studs or chains. On the highway they are quiet and comfortable. They go on in November and come off in March but they could be used year round with good results. I live 15 miles to a slot canyon with plenty of curves and that's where the one shortcoming shows on these tires as they are just a bit wishy/washy pushed hard in turns. This is slight and does not negate the tires' good points. Highly recommended.

I have a set for my 2013 Ram 1500. It's a tank in the snow and ice. No problems at all. Just put a set on my wife new Jetta with a set of wheels for easy swap for winter. This set of tires have made traction a none issue for my wife's commute.

...Blizzaks LM001 are good in snow and very good (for a dedicated snow tire) dry winter...

I am a cross country skier and end up driving in snow a fair bit, but most of my driving is on dry pavement during the winter. My summer tires are Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 which I get about 20,000 on before they are worn out. Blizzaks LM001 are good in snow and very good (for a dedicated snow tire) dry winter. I had Tire Rack mount them on Alutec wheels which they balanced perfect. Very happy with the package.

The tires were quieter and ride quality better than what I have had in previous snow tires.

The tires worked just as I hoped in the snow and ice conditions seen in the MI UP. The tires were quieter and ride quality better than what I have had in previous snow tires.
