The Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra summer tire is a "highway" tire for SUVs and crossovers. It is distinguished by improved traction on wet pavement, a comfortable, quiet, and smooth ride even on poor roads, resistance to damage, and a long service life.
The tire's tread is made from a rubber compound optimized to provide maximum traction on wet pavement. Its composition contains a large amount of "silica", and the manufacturing technology ensures increased uniformity of the compound, which further enhances its basic working characteristics. First and foremost, this is elasticity at low temperatures, which allows the tire to fit more closely to the cold, wet road surface. Its pattern is distinguished by a large number of lamellas. The densely notched elements form hundreds of sharp edges in the contact patch, which easily penetrate through the water film on the road, providing excellent traction and braking properties in such conditions. The "three-dimensional" profile of the lamella walls fixes them in an open position, limiting the mobility of the blocks. This gives the traction properties on wet pavement high stability. It is worth noting the use of the Quiettrack technology in the tire, which provides a good level of acoustic comfort. First and foremost, due to the optimized arrangement of the tread pattern elements. Their placement with a certain pitch significantly minimizes the risk of resonance noise and vibration. A "side" effect of this solution is a significant reduction in the level of abrasive impact on the tread due to a more even distribution of the load on the road surface.
