Bridgestone Blizzak LM32 215/45 R16 90 V XL, FR

Being a Subaru car owner I think that winter conditions, even having just summer tyres fitted, are not scary to me at all. My Subaru was originally equipped with a standard multiseason Yokohama Geolandar which I had the opportunity to test in the snowy conditions. Frankly speaking I purchased the 'Blizzaks' as a random choice, since I was planning to buy any middle class tyres and the cost of Bridgestone Blizzak LM32 was comparable to other brands' middle class tyres. The difference between my previous Yokohama Geolandar and the 'Blizzaks', when used on the snow, is massive! Even in really though weather conditions with the Bridgestone Blizzak LM32 mounting a snowy hill is not a problem (ESP swiched off). The traction is much better with the 'Blizzaks' installed. I was pleasantly surprised with braking on snowy road - ABS activates only while sudden and rapid breaking takes place. Of course, there are always pros and cons. Some decrease of a fuel efficency could be noticed. Also they are a bit noisy while driving round 100 MPH (225 tyre width). To Sum up: great tyres but should be rather fitted when the snowy season comes. Read more Collapse

Hi! Although I bought Bridgestone Blizzak LM32 not so far ago had opportunity to test them on almost all surfaces. during dry conditions they are just perfect! On snow or mud I always kept control over my car. There was no need to use the ABS a lot. Driving in even deep snow (like 20'') isn't an issue. After having them installed dealing with snowy roads and car parks in my town is just a piece of cake! With Bridgestone Blizzak LM32 long distance journeys are now safe and plesent. What I like most is the lack of this noise typical for other winter tyres when the temperatures are moderate in the winter. My car is Seat Alhambra which is quite heavy on it's own. But even fully packed with 4 people on board my car with Bridgestone Blizzak LM32 fitted works really well! From my point of view these are really good tyres for reasonable money. 100% recommendation! Read more Collapse

Well, I bought Bridgestone Blizzak LM32 tyres suggesting the brand's reputation and opinions of others, After driving with these tyres a distance of about 10,000 miles, I can say that on the wet asphalt road, no metter dry or wet, braking and acceleration are on a good level. Quick lane sliding also goes smoothly, But these are winter tyres and I've tried them off roads. It didn't go well. I had to use ABS a lot (it's the same when I'm braking on ice). Generally the noise depends on the type road's surface. With a clear mind, I can say that these tyres are perfectly suited for city driving but if someone goes off roads a lot this is not a best choice and I would recommend some better alternatives for a similar price.

We are using on two vehicles Bridgestone LM32 and LM25 winter tyres - in Ireland. You could ask the question: Ireland and snow? => Yes you are right. I use the winter tyres in Ireland because of the constant rain. My dream was to let afford a pair of Michelin Alpine 5XL - for more expensive, but honestly I will go back to Bridgestone LM32 or LM25 if I can still get them. Read more Collapse

Bridgestone Blizzak LM 32 used for 2 seasons in a heavy car, which is the Rover 75. In the past, I had several types of winter tires, among others, Firestone, Fulda, Dębica. In comparison with the above-mentioned behaves extremely Blizzaki predictable. Fantastic "bite" into the snow, making driving very badly snowy and icy road did not have to frantically hold the steering wheel and I was able to indulge in pure driving pleasure in winter. Tires manage very well also on slush, ice and water. In contrast, for example. For Firestonów after entering the slush can not stand on the sides of the car, the driver feels really safe. As for winter tires, it should be noted that very well look like. The only negative of these tires, it is a bit annoying noise, but it's hard to find a quiet winter tires :-). Bridgestone Blizzak LM 32 recommend each driver and most of those who like a bit of "push" in the winter, they feel very safe. Read more Collapse
