The Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 receives polarizing feedback from users, shining brightly for its class-leading wet weather grip, short braking distances, and comfortable ride quality. However, a significant portion of reviewers report severe disappointment regarding rapid tread wear, declining performance past the first or second season, and compromised traction in deep snow or icy conditions.
Owners rate it 8.5 points lower than the instrumented road tests do — see the two score breakdowns below for where they disagree.
Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
64/100From 113 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
73/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.

Themes extracted from 113 owner reviews found online.
The Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 receives polarizing feedback from users, shining brightly for its class-leading wet weather grip, short braking distances, and comfortable ride quality. However, a significant portion of reviewers report severe disappointment regarding rapid tread wear, declining performance past the first or second season, and compromised traction in deep snow or icy conditions.
Pros
- Exceptional grip and braking performance on wet roads and heavy rain
- High driving comfort with low interior noise levels when new
- Predictable and stable handling characteristics in dry and mild winter conditions
- Good initial traction on light to moderate snow
Cons
- Rapid and premature tread wear, with many users reporting the tire wearing out within 5,000 to 15,000 km
- Noticeable degradation in snow and ice grip by the second or third season
- Increased tire noise, whining, or humming vibrations as the tire ages
- Subpar performance on deep snow, hard-packed snow, and pure ice
Worth knowing
- Users running these tires on heavier vehicles like SUVs (e.g., Audi Q5, Mazda CX-5) and heavy EVs or hybrids (e.g., Tesla Model Y, Toyota RAV4 Hybrid) frequently highlight accelerated tread wear.
- Drivers of rear-wheel-drive (RWD) performance cars noted that rear tires wear out much faster and experience limitations on steep snowy inclines.
