About the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005

Winter Grip You Can Count On, Mile After Mile

Best forDrivers in cold-climate regions who need certified severe-snow capability on sedans, coupes, CUVs, SUVs, and 4x4 vehicles throughout the winter season.

The Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 is a dedicated winter tire built for passenger cars, coupes, CUVs, SUVs, and 4x4s that regularly face temperatures at or below 45°F. Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certified for severe-snow service, it delivers confident grip, short stopping distances, and stable handling across icy, snowy, and wet winter road surfaces.

A directional tread layout features zigzag grooves that sweep water and slush away from the contact patch, reducing hydroplaning risk. Bridgestone's NanoPro-Tech compound maintains pliability in the cold for enhanced wet grip, while a high density of both 2D and 3D sipes creates additional biting edges that bite into packed snow and ice for improved control and braking.

Questions about this tire

What does 215/70R17 105H mean?

215 is the tread width in millimeters, 70 means the sidewall is 70% of that width, and R17 is the 17-inch rim it mounts on. 105 is the load index (2,039 lbs per tire), and H is the speed rating (up to 130 mph).

Is the Blizzak LM005 a true winter tire or an all-season tire?

The LM005 is a dedicated winter tire, not an all-season product. It is engineered specifically for cold-weather use — generally when temperatures stay at or below 45°F — and should be swapped out for a warm-weather or all-season tire once winter ends. Using it in summer heat will accelerate wear and reduce performance.

How does the Blizzak LM005 perform on snow and ice?

The LM005 carries the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification, meaning it has met industry standards for severe-snow traction. Its directional tread evacuates slush efficiently, and the dense sipe pattern bites into ice and compacted snow to improve grip and shorten braking distances. For extreme glacial ice, dedicated studded tires may still offer an edge, but the LM005 handles the full range of typical winter conditions well.

Are Blizzak LM005 tires directional, and does that affect rotation?

Yes, the LM005 uses a directional tread pattern, which means the tires must roll in a specific direction to function correctly. As a result, rotations are limited to front-to-rear or rear-to-front on the same side of the vehicle — side-to-side swaps are not possible without dismounting and remounting the tires.

Can I have the Blizzak LM005 studded for extra ice traction?

No, the Blizzak LM005 is not designed to accept studs. That said, its NanoPro-Tech compound and high-density sipe layout provide strong ice and snow performance without studs, and the tire is certified for severe-snow service.

What vehicles is the Blizzak LM005 compatible with?

The LM005 is designed for a broad range of passenger vehicles, including sedans, coupes, crossovers, SUVs, and 4x4s. TFS Wheels stocks 16 sizes covering 17- to 21-inch rim diameters, making it a practical fit for many popular models in those vehicle categories.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
