Setting new standards for safety, comfort, and performance, the Bridgestone Blizzak LM-80 Evo delivers excellent driving characteristics in all conditions. It features a superior sipe design for balanced control on wintry roads. The single-sided tread, with advanced sipe platforms, is engineered for optimal winter traction and handling on snow and ice. High-volume transverse grooves efficiently clear water and slush, ensuring superior wet grip. Its revolutionary winter compound provides reliable and efficient performance.
Key Features:
Improved handling on wet and dry roads: Narrower, stiffer sipes enhance handling on wet and dry roads while maintaining excellent performance on snow and ice. Reliable braking, acceleration, and cornering are made possible with these adapted thin sipes, which deliver a high edge effect.
Improved safety in wet conditions: Pronounced oblique tread grooves quickly evacuate water and snow slush, offering excellent grip on wet surfaces without compromising performance on dry roads. The risk of aquaplaning is reduced thanks to deep, slanted tread grooves and circumferential main tread grooves.
Excellent grip on ice, snow, and mud: The directional tread pattern, combined with a modern sipe design, ensures superior traction and steering feedback for safe driving in winter conditions. Multi-sipe technology provides top-level traction and braking performance on loose or fresh snow. A higher number of shoulder blocks improves grip on firm snow and ice, while reinforced edge areas (on blocks and sipes) enhance stability.
Reliable, efficient performance: The revolutionary rubber compound and optimized carcass construction reduce tyre weight and rolling resistance, delivering a quieter, smoother, and more comfortable ride.

EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
