LM-005 leads in wet braking; Blizzak 6 dominates on snow with better all-round balance.
Within Bridgestone's winter tyre range, the Bridgestone Blizzak LM-005 and the Bridgestone Blizzak 6 occupy different positions despite sharing the same Blizzak name and premium standing. The LM-005, launched in 2020, was built around a single obsession: wet-weather dominance. It earned multiple test wins that year and established itself as one of the strongest wet-braking winter tyres the segment had seen. The Blizzak 6 is its direct successor — a newer, broader-thinking tyre that trades some of that wet supremacy for superior snow capability, better mileage, and a more balanced overall character. Choosing between them is really a question of which winter conditions you encounter most.

For drivers who regularly face genuine snow — compacted, icy side roads, mountain approaches, or heavy snowfall regions — and want a more complete winter tyre that balances snow confidence with competitive wet and dry behaviour plus better mileage, the Bridgestone Blizzak 6 is the more rounded choice and reflects where the Blizzak range has evolved. Most buyers replacing an LM-005 today will find the Blizzak 6 the natural step forward; those whose winters are primarily wet rather than snowy may prefer to stay with the LM-005's still-unmatched wet-braking pedigree.
