Description
Bridgestone Blizzak LM-80 RFT. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Winter weather traction; Improved controllability; Run flat tire model; Extended service life; . OVERVIEW: The Bridgestone Blizzak LM-80 RFT is a performance, winter tire made for SUVs.The ideal tread pattern and its close surface contact allow the tire to increase its steering responsiveness and driving stability. The symmetric, directional tread design and the stronger compound improve the tires contact with the driving surface. This upgrades the tires steering response time to the drivers commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. At the same time, the wide shoulder blocks boost the tires cornering and maneuvering. This combination gives the driver full control over the vehicle and guarantees a safe driving experience.This is a run flat tire model. While they cannot be mixed with regular tires on the same vehicle, the stronger structure of run flat tires offers a limited, temporary performance. The model provides a 50-mile, 50-mph performance even after air pressure loss. When this occurs, the tire can perform as it withstands the weight of the vehicle and its passengers. Run flat tires are typically made for vehicles without space for spare tires in their trunk.Extended service life is guaranteed with this model. The optimized tire footprint spreads driving pressure equally across the tread area. The even distribution of the forces of acceleration, cornering, and braking prevents irregular wear across the tread area. As a result, the ideal tread pattern is resistant to uneven tread wear as it increases the tires driving stability. The improved stability, the slower wearing tread, and the prevention of uneven wear combined extend the tires usability.The Bridgestone Blizzak LM-80 RFT promotes excellent winter-weather traction. In this manner, the optimized tread elements keep constant surface contact, while the compound maintains flexibility in cold temperatures. These elements upgrade the tires performance on ice- and snow-covered roads. On the other hand, the special siping details and the wide grooves prevent hydroplaning. These elements eliminate water and slush from the footprint and guarantee a secure performance.Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
