Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60 Tire Review
Winter Tire

The Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60 is a tire that promises to get you through harsh winter conditions without sacrificing performance on dry roads. Its circumferential grooves are made to channel water out of the footprint area, thereby enhancing the tire’s hydroplaning resistance. It also features a continuous lug that further enhances water evacuation and snow traction.

The tire’s high-silica tread compound molded into a directional tread pattern and 3D zigzag sipes provide more biting edges, which strengthen its grip on wet, snow, and ice while improving overall dry performance. Blizzak LM-60 features Bridgestone’s UNI-T technology, which increases the tire’s durability despite rough and high-speed driving. This technology also improves handling, fuel efficiency, and ride quality.

The Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60 comes in a variety of sizes. This tire’s width ranges from 215-275mm while its rim diameter ranges from 15”-20”. The available sizes are geared toward high-performance cars such as sports cars, sedan, crossover, and SUVs.

With features that pass the industry’s severe snow requirements, this snow radial is branded with the mountain/snowflake symbol. Its MSRP starts at roughly $152 and varies depending on the size you need and the vendor you choose.

Tire Test Results

With the pledge to give you a comfortable ride and high performance through the changing winter weathers, the Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60 seems to be a truly desirable winter tire. However, does this tire truly deliver what it says it will or are those only empty words? Here’s what we found out:

Pros

• The tire performs well on dry, wet, slushy, and icy roads.
• It works well on both packed and thick, fresh snow.
• The wear rate is above average, (and if not used excessively during summer) will last you through several changes in seasons. 

Cons

• The tire appears soft when it comes to cornering, so some caution should be exercised.
• It doesn’t appear as responsive as other winter tires tested.
• It produces a considerable amount of noise, especially on dry roads

Bottom Line

On the whole, the Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60 does deliver what it promises as it proves to work well in various winter conditions. Although it has some noticeable flaws such as cornering and noise level, its overall performance makes it a good choice for those who want to get consistency, security, and longevity from their tires.
