Tyre details: The Bridgestone LM22 is a premium-range winter tyre designed for mid- and top-market passenger cars. It utilises the experience gained by Bridgestone engineers in the field of rally driving. The tyres feature a directional tread, which is frequently preferred by winter tyre manufacturers due to its driving characteristics on winter roads. The V-shaped grooves evacuate water rapidly and efficiently, meaning that the Bridgestone LM22 provides guaranteed protection against aquaplaning. The tread dries rapidly, ensuring safer driving and superb grip regardless of the weather.
The side and circumferential grooves guarantee the rapid dispersal of water from under the wheel and the maintenance of superb driving stability. The zigzag-shaped blade sipes on the tyre surface bite into the ground, ensuring outstanding grip on snow and icy surfaces. The Bridgestone LM22 is manufactured using a state-of-the-art rubber compound featuring Multicell technology, notable for its many micropores which absorb moisture and improve steerability. The compound is resistant to rapid wear and also to extremely low temperatures due to its outstanding flexibility. The tyre tread wears evenly thanks to the optimum distribution of forces acting on it. This means that the Bridgestone LM22 achieves the full range of performance values throughout its service life, regardless of the figure on the milometer.
