Bridgestone 040248 Blizzak LM-25 RFT 245/45R18 96V Winter Run-Flat Tire

The Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 RFT (Run-Flat) is a directional, studless performance winter tire engineered to deliver superior snow and ice traction for high-performance passenger vehicles. Powered by Bridgestone's UNI-T technology, this tire brings together advanced tread design, compound engineering, and run-flat construction to provide a complete winter performance package.

The LM-25 RFT features a high-silica content tread compound that stays pliable in freezing temperatures — improving grip on snow, ice, and wet surfaces — without sacrificing the H- and V-speed rated durability demanded by performance drivers. Its directional tread design features independent blocks with rounded shoulders to maximize hydroplaning resistance on wet and slush-covered roads while maintaining confident dry-road handling.

The tire's Lamellen "edge effect" employs multiple biting edges within the tread blocks to enhance winter traction without relying on traditional metal studs. 3D sipes further boost dry performance without compromising snow, ice, or wet grip. Wide straight grooves and lens-shaped blocks work together to evacuate water efficiently and reduce the risk of hydroplaning.

As a run-flat tire, the LM-25 RFT uses reinforced sidewall construction to temporarily support the vehicle's weight after a complete loss of air pressure, providing continued mobility so you can safely reach a service location. The internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon for high-speed durability and uniform ride quality.

Key Features:

• Zigzag / 3D Sipes — Increase biting edges for improved snow and ice traction while enhancing dry performance
• High-Silica Tread Compound — Remains flexible in cold temperatures for superior winter and wet traction
• Directional Tread Design — Enhances hydroplaning resistance on wet and slush-covered roads
• Lamellen Edge Effect — Multiple biting edges grip snow and ice without metal studs
• Lens-Shape Blocks with Wide Straight Grooves — Maximize water evacuation and reduce hydroplaning risk
• Run-Flat Construction — Reinforced sidewalls maintain vehicle support after air pressure loss
• Twin Steel Belts with Spirally Wrapped Nylon — Blends high-speed durability with smooth, uniform ride quality
• UNI-T Technology — Bridges advanced compound and construction technologies for well-balanced all-condition performance
• Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) Certified — Meets industry severe snow service requirements
• Snow Platform Indicators — Tread groove wear indicators alert driver when snow traction performance is reduced

Bridgestone recommends installing the Blizzak LM-25 RFT in complete sets of four to ensure optimal handling balance and performance. This tire is not to be mixed with non-run-flat tires on the same vehicle.
