The new Blizzak LM-32s winter sport tyre has been awarded the prestigious \u201cT\u00dcV Performance Mark\u201d following independent benchmark tests conducted by the Germany-based organization T\u00dcV S\u00dcD, one of the world\u2019s leading technical services organisations.
\n<\/p>\n

Unbeatable in wet and snow<\/strong><\/p>\n

Testing Blizzak LM-32s against four leading major-brand competitors, the T\u00dcV S\u00dcD results\u00a0 picked out the new Blizzak for its wet performance and established it as clear winner in wet braking, lateral wet grip and straight-line aquaplaning resistance. The Blizzak also beat all competitors in dry braking and was joint leader in snow braking performance.<\/p>\n

New technologies applied to pattern and compound have resulted in an overall strong snow performance (braking and acceleration) and outstanding wet performance. Superior results in braking safety on wet and dry have also been achieved thanks to a new sipe layout of constant depth which helps to create even pattern stiffness under braking conditions.<\/p>\n

The new Blizzak LM-32 s will be available in Germany, Switzerland and Austria \u2013 Europe\u2019s biggest market for lamellen Winter tyres \u2013 in 8 key 17 and 18-inch sizes as of August 2013. As of September 2013, the LM-32s is also available in East Region2 in size 235\/45 R17.<\/p>\n


\nComprehensive Blizzak line-up<\/strong><\/p>\n

This latest sporty member of the Blizzak family adds depth to a premium line-up that provides motorists with high-level performance in all winter conditions and regions \u2013 from Blizzak LM-32 for passenger cars and Blizzak LM-80 EVO for SUVs and 4x4s in continental European winter conditions to Blizzak WS70 and Spike-01.
\nHistory of excellence<\/strong><\/p>\n

The LM-32s continues Blizzak\u2019s strong run of success in independent performance tests. Blizzak LM-80 was on top in Germany\u2019s ADAC\/\u00d6AMTC\/TCS 2012 winter SUV\/CUV tyre tests3, 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

The Blizzak LM-32 was also a winner in AutoBild4 ratings where it was one of only 3 brands out of 42 to receive the highest rating of \u201cvery recommendable\u201d for overall performance. In addition, the tyre received the top position in the ADAC\/\u00d6AMTC\/TCS5 snow ranking.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll these independent tests confirm that Bridgestone\u2019s premium Blizzak tyres provide motorists with very high-levels of safety in all types of winter conditions\u201d says Jos\u00e9 Enrique Gonzalez, Director Consumer Marketing, Bridgestone Europe.<\/p>\n

Blizzak tyres are developed and tested at Bridgestone\u2019s European winter proving ground at Vidsel, northern Sweden.\u00a0 More than 170 million Blizzak tyres have been sold worldwide since the brand\u2019s introduction in 1988.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
