Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 RFT. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Fuel efficient drive; Longer lasting tread life; Winter weather traction; Run flat model; High speed performance; . OVERVIEW: The Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 RFT (MOExtended) is a performance, winter tire made for passenger vehicles. It is the original equipment tire of select Mercedes-Benz vehicles.The run flat tire utilizes its reinforced sidewall construction to support the tire throughout the performance. It even offers a limited performance in case of an air pressure loss. This technology keeps the tire in shape for a limited period of time after air leaves the tire due to a puncture or some other damage. It prevents the vehicle from being stranded on the side of the road.The directional tread pattern with the center rib offers exceptional handling power at high speeds, improving the overall controllability and driving stability. These tread elements with detailed sipe placement provide a firm grip to the driving surface and boost the overall steering response time and accuracy to the driver's instructions. The driver is able to maintain superb control over the vehicle at high speeds, promoting a safer driving experience.The directional tread pattern offers superb performance in winter weather conditions, offering excellent traction on icy and snowy roads. These tread elements offer good overall traction by firmly gripping the road surface, while also eliminating water and slush from the footprint. This prevents them from blocking the road contact and causing the vehicle to hydroplane. On the other hand, the compound optimizes rubber flexibility in cold winter temperatures and provides superb performance.The Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 RFT (MOExtended) also guarantees a fuel efficient performance and a longer lasting tread life. The directional tread lowers the rolling resistance, which allows the tire to maintain a constant forward motion using less energy. In other words, the tire lowers the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, promoting a cost efficient and eco friendly driving experience. The durable compound slows down the treadwear rate and avoids premature wear formations, while directional tread avoid irregular wear.Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
