As there's no data with this test, we'll leave the commentary to a minimum, but it's great to see Bridgestone continuing it's run of sucsess with another win for the Blizzak LM005.
The testing notes have left us a little confused, as tyres with seemingly big issues such as long dry and wet braking distances still being recommended, but be sure to head over to the ACE website to see the full details.
