very good
Ranked #4 of 8

Securing the 4th position out of 8 competitors, Bridgestone Blizzak LM-005 left a solid impression with a final rating of 'Very good'. This tire distinguished itself by its remarkably balanced performance, reliability, and easy handling on snowy conditions, alongside having the shortest braking distances due to its excellent grip on wet surfaces. Its dynamic nature, immediate steering response, and agility on dry roads were highly commended. However, it faced criticisms for longer braking distances on dry asphalt and tendencies for oversteer during rapid lane changes and high-speed load transfer tests. Highlighting its superior qualities, Bridgestone Blizzak LM-005 excelled in dry steering response, interior noise reduction, and wet side guidance, showcasing its strengths across various important aspects of winter driving.
