Description
Outstanding control in all winter conditions
Efficient braking and handling in winter conditions
Excellent wet and dry performance
Excellent wear resistence and durable performance
The Blizzak LM-001 Evo combines tread and material technology innovations to provide the safety and performance you need under today's increasingly diverse and unpredictable conditions. So you can dare to venture onto the road under all weather conditions: from sunny to snowy with all intermediate stages.
The optimized, bevelled design of the cross grooves provides increased grip on snow. Due to the new geometry and increased number of slats, better interlocking with the snow coating is possible.
The horn-shaped transverse grooves ensure optimum water drainage to the outside. The angle of inclination of the 3-D blades is optimized for the contact surface.
Innovative lamella design to break open the water film for more contact area and safety on ice.
Latest generation compound technology for lasting grip on wet and snow.
Manufacturer information
EU Tyre Label
The Tyre Labelling Regulation determines the information that must be provided with regard to tyres' fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise. Information is also provided on the product's performance in wintery driving conditions.
Regulation EU 1222/2009, which has been in force since 01/11/2012, has been revised and will be replaced from 1 May 2021 by Regulation EU 2020/740, from which point new standards will apply. The assessment categories for fuel efficiency, wet grip and external noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been changed accordingly. The manufacturers' product data sheets, stored in the EU database, can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. It also includes information on snow grip and ice grip for tyres that meet these criteria.
The following tyres are exempt from the regulation:
- Tyres designed to be fitted only to vehicles registered for the first time before 1 October 1990
- Remoulded tyres (until Regulation EU 2020/740 has been widened accordingly)
- Professional off-road tyres
- Racing tyres
- Tyres with additional devices to improve traction, e.g. studded tyres
- Temporary-use spare tyres (T-type tyres)
- Tyres with a speed rating below 80 km/h
- Tyres with a nominal rim diameter of 254 mm or less and 635 mm or more
