Our take

The Blizzak LM-60 RFT is a winter tire that focuses on snow traction, with a score of 8 that makes it reliable for snowy conditions. However, it lacks a treadwear warranty, which could lead to higher long-term costs compared to competitors like the Michelin X-Ice Snow that offer mileage guarantees.

In terms of comfort and noise, the LM-60 RFT matches the category averages, so it won't stand out in either a positive or negative way. Its wet grip is slightly below average, which may be a concern on slushy roads, and its dry grip also trails the category norm, which could affect performance during dry spells in winter.

Compared to its competitors, the LM-60 RFT does not offer the same treadwear warranty benefits as the Michelin X-Ice Snow, nor does it excel in dry grip like the Vredestein Wintrac Pro. It is best suited for drivers who face moderate snow conditions and are less concerned about long-term cost implications.

Drivers who require a tire with a treadwear warranty or better wet and dry grip should consider alternatives like the Michelin X-Ice Snow or Vredestein Wintrac Pro.

Pros

  • Snow traction score of 8, which is solid for handling snowy conditions.
  • Comfort score matches the category average of 6.2, making it a reasonable choice for winter driving comfort.
  • Noise level is on par with the category average, so it won't be noticeably louder than other winter tires.

Cons

  • Lack of a treadwear warranty means higher potential long-term costs compared to competitors with mileage guarantees.
  • Wet grip rating of 5.5 is slightly below the category average of 5.7, which might affect performance on slushy roads.
  • No treadwear warranty, unlike competitors like the Michelin X-Ice Snow, which offers a mileage guarantee.
  • Dry grip rating of 6.5 falls short of the category average of 7.1, potentially impacting performance on dry winter roads.
