Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 255/35R19 XL 96V Performance Winter / Snow Tire 007914
π‘ Is the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 255/35R19 a Good Tire?
The Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 255/35R19 is a winter performance tire designed for sports cars, performance coupes, and luxury sedans. It delivers strong snow and ice traction with capable wet weather performance thanks to its advanced silica compound and directional tread design with multi-angle sipes. Ride comfort is firm as expected for a low-profile winter tire, with moderate road noise levels. Tread life is shorter than all-season alternatives due to the soft winter compound optimized for cold weather grip. Rated Good by TireRack based on 81 consumer surveys, it excels in winter conditions but requires seasonal changeover and storage. Currently priced from $308.19, it is available through major online tire retailers.
