Bridgestone U-AP 001 – a tire for urban buses that can be installed on any axle. The model is equipped with a symmetrical non-directional tread with an increased contact area. This has allowed for improved traction and grip, as well as increased maneuverability.
The presence of wide "shoulders" and reinforced sidewalls contributes to increased resistance to mechanical damage. Two ribs in the center, carrying lamellas of variable depth, provide stability of directional movement, as well as increase the effectiveness of contact with wet and slippery road surfaces. It is important to note that the special structure of the lamellas reduces the noise effect, significantly improving the ride comfort indicators.
Among the advantages of the model, a high tread can be highlighted, which implies the possibility of its restoration by cutting. This factor has a positive impact on the economic efficiency of using the tire.
