The Bridgestone A001 Weather Control winter tire fully lives up to its name, providing absolute control over the vehicle in any weather conditions. Thanks to the optimized tread pattern, developed with the help of modern digital technologies, this model provides excellent traction not only on snowy but also on icy roads, all without the need for studs.
Triangular blocks
The central one of the five longitudinal ribs of the Bridgestone A001 Weather Control consists of a multitude of triangular blocks connected to each other by a rigid bridge. This gives the entire structure increased rigidity without compromising longitudinal traction properties. As a result, the tire demonstrates excellent directional stability, as well as fast and precise responses to steering wheel turns with high efficiency during acceleration and deceleration.
Rhombus-shaped blocks of Bridgestone A001 Weather Control
Next to the longitudinal rib in the center of the tread, there are two more ribs. They also have a composite structure, but at the same time, the blocks that make them up are spaced at a greater distance from each other, and in addition, they have a rhombus shape and are arranged at an angle to the direction of movement. The combination of such features provides the tire with several important operational properties. First of all, these are excellent traction characteristics on snow, reduced rolling resistance, and low noise levels.
Wide shoulder areas
In turn, the shoulder areas of the Bridgestone A001 Weather Control are distinguished by wide blocks of rectangular shape. These tread elements demonstrate their high efficiency in several modes of movement. First of all, when maneuvering, they serve as a reliable point of support. When driving in a straight line, the blocks of the shoulder areas, due to the formed transverse edges, improve the traction properties during acceleration and deceleration.
Main features:
- a multitude of blocks of various shapes and sizes give the tire excellent performance in any driving modes and in weather and road conditions;
- several types of lamellas give the tire confident behavior on rolled snow and ice, and due to the increased rigidity of the blocks, fast and precise reactions to steering wheel turns, refined handling;
- wide and deep drainage grooves perfectly cope with the removal of not only water but also more massive snow masses from the contact patch.
