Bridgestone has introduced the Blizzak LM-80 EVO, an upgraded version of its premium SUV winter tyre that won top spot in three leading tyre tests in 2012.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manufactured in Europe, the LM-80 EVO now features three improvements designed to upgrade snow and wet performance:\u00a0 new sipe distribution for traction, a new silica-rich compound developed exclusively for European winter conditions, and an optimized centre rib and shoulder block design for improved handling and road holding.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s predecessor \u2013 the Blizzak LM-80 \u2013 is the winner of Germany\u2019s ADAC\/\u00d6AMTC\/TCS 2012 winter SUV\/CUV tyre tests, gaining the coveted \u201cvery recommendable\u201d label from Europe\u2019s largest federation of automobile clubs. LM-80 received top grades for ice performance and fuel efficiency, supported by very good grades in snow and wet braking. Blizzak LM-80 also claimed the n\u00b0 1 spot in ACE (Auto Club Europe) and GT\u00dc (German Association for Technical Inspection) 2012 winter SUV tyre tests.<\/p>\n

\u201cBridgestone aims to continuously improve all its products, both to retain premium performance levels and always keep pace with latest automobile evolutions\u201d says Jos\u00e9-Enrique Gonzalez, Director Consumer Marketing and Sales Support, Bridgestone Europe.<\/p>\n

The Blizzak LM-80 EVO lamellen tyre is designed to help drivers of latest-generation SUVs get the most out of their vehicles, delivering high-level performance and safety in all European winter conditions. The uni-directional tread with advanced sipe platforms is designed for winter traction and handling on ice and snow, and offers balanced control on wet and dry roads. The new under-tread compound and lighter construction reduce the tyre\u2019s rolling resistance, helping to cut fuel consumption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
