Tires which have received the three mountain peak and snowflake symbol promote excellent winter weather traction in versatile winter conditions. Such tires guarantee a safer performance throughout harsh winter conditions. Winter tires come in a wide range of versatile sizes, but all of them have to offer a secure winter weather driving experience to get this symbol.
Here at Priority Tire, we provide various winter tires for sale. For passenger vehicles and smaller SUVs, we would like to recommend the Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 model. This tire not only offers exceptional winter weather performance, but it also allows the vehicle’s secure high speed performance throughout its lifetime.
Winter Weather Performance
Winter tires combine their tread design and winter compound to increase the winter weather performing capability. They upgrade their grip on ice and snow-covered road surfaces and guarantee a safer cold temperature driving experience.
The Blizzak LM-32 utilizes its directional tread design and special winter compound to offer a safer performing ability. The directional tread pattern’s high-density siping design enhances the grip the tire has on the road surface throughout the tire’s winter weather performance. The polymer compound, on the other hand, keeps the tire pliable in colder temperatures by maintaining the rubber flexibility at all times. In this manner, the tire is able to improve its winter weather driving safety levels significantly.
The tread design’s groove placement also enhances the model’s traction and driving ability. The circumferential and angled lateral grooves actively disperse water and slush from below the footprint. Hydroplaning is a dangerous road hazard which causes the vehicle to skid and the driver to lose control over it as water and slush stuck on the road surface cuts off the tire’s surface contact during the drive. The Blizzak LM-32 manages to avoid hydroplaning by channeling water and slush away from the tire’s footprint, optimizing its surface contact. This enables the tire to securely perform in versatile winter weather.
Controllability and Maneuvering
Tires must have excellent controllability. Their road contact and traction must improve the steering responsiveness, driving stability, cornering ability and braking power to ensure a secure winter weather performance. Different manufacturers utilize versatile technologies and tread elements to ensure the driver’s full control over the vehicle.
The Blizzak LM-32 improves its handling with the tread design. The directional tread design closely follows the road surface while the tires are in motion, which allows the tire to enhance the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, the steering is enhanced, making it faster and more precise, while the structural stability is guaranteed. This not only gives more control over the vehicle to the drive, but it also is able to improve the tire’s high speed performing safety. The tread design and the stronger construction maintains the ideal tire shape and the tire’s surface contact during its high speed performance, enabling the tire to securely perform at its greatest high speed ability.
The tread design also boosts the model’s maneuvering capability. The detailed shoulder tread block placement and ideal surface contact increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout the drive. These biting edges help the tire upgrade the cornering ability and power. The high-density siping pattern combined with the stronger polymer compound work together to shorten the braking distance. These tread elements and the optimal compound manage to create friction between the tire and the road surface at the moment of braking, which decreases the model’s stopping distance and greatly upgrades the driving safety levels.
Tread Wear Indicators
Tread wear indicators are tread elements which visually represent the tread wear rate of a tire. Such indicators are used by manufacturers to make following the tire’s tread wear rate easier throughout the model’s lifetime.
The Blizzak LM-32 features snow platform indicators which are located in the tire’s grooves. When the tread wears down to these indicators, which function similarly to snow wear bars, the tire is no longer considered safe to be used in winter conditions. This prevents the tire from being used once its traction wears out, ensuring a safer driving experience.
