The BLIZZAK LM-30 targets a wide range of compacts, mid-sized cars and family saloons up to T and H speed ratings. It offers them safe all-round winter driving with maximum control on snow and ice, and the reassurance of short braking distances on slush and wet.
Precision Response: Special features include new “3D Washboard and slit” siping on the centre rib for extra grip and block stiffness, high edge density in the centre area for maximum bite on hard-packed snow and ice, and continuous Z-shape lugs which enhance edge effect and snow shear force in all driving directions.
Asymmetrical pattern with high central edge component for outstanding grip on snow and ice
Optimized void and groove distribution balancing snow, wet and dry performance
Silica-reinforced tread compound for reliable braking and grip across all winter conditions
Robust, durable construction ensures consistent and comfortable handling
Bridgestone has also made the new BLIZZAK LM-30 more environment-friendly and economical, compared to the BLIZZAK LM-20 it replaces. By reducing rolling resistance by up to 16% through weight loss resulting from the optimization of the carcass shape and belt package, fuel consumption has been cut by up to 2.5% and CO2 emissions reduced by up to 4.5 g/km. The BLIZZAK LM-30 also reduces pass-by noise by more than 1dB and in-car noise by 2dB.
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.

30.05.2015fromScott Fantastic snow tyre. I work in Buxton and never got stuck with this tyre for 3 winters travelling into Buxton 5 days per week. Transformed my 1.5 DCi Clio into a controllable snow machine capable of passing stranded 4x4's. I will be purchasing the same tyre for my A4 Quattro this winter
20.04.2013fromGraham A very worthwhile purchase.
30.11.2011fromKeith Farrow Bit of extra noise, but top grip in the wet and snow.
11.07.2010fromPaul James superb value tyre gave the driver confidence in snowy conditions
