All-season tire Bridgestone A005 Weather Control is suitable for most popular passenger cars. It was developed specifically for European countries, taking into account the specific features of their climate, first and foremost, in winter. It is characterized by improved traction and handling on slippery surfaces, resistance to hydroplaning and slaloming. And, of course, the "signature" features of all passenger tires of the Japanese manufacturer have not disappeared, including exceptional reliability and long service life on bad roads.
The tread pattern is made in a directional design. It is distinguished by a V-shaped arrangement and an increased number of drainage grooves. This minimizes the risk of hydro and slaloming. The blocks are distributed in groups of several elements each. At the same time, the transverse edges formed by them are elongated and arranged at an angle. As a result, high traction and braking intensity are provided on a snowy surface. The "chess" arrangement of the block groups increases the contact patch and allows the load to be evenly distributed over the road surface. This improves traction and handling on dry roads and prevents tread wear. The blocks have Z-shaped lamellas. Forming a multitude of additional edges, these slots enhance traction on wet and icy surfaces.
Main features:
- V-shaped arrangement, inclination, and numerous drainage grooves reduce the risk of aquaplaning and slaloming;
- elongated transverse edges of blocks increase traction and reduce braking distance on snow;
- increased shoulder areas provide excellent stability and ease of handling when maneuvering;
- "chess" arrangement of transverse rows of blocks increases the contact patch and reduces wear;
- Z-shaped lamellas improve longitudinal traction on wet and icy surfaces.
