The summer tire Bridgestone Expedia S-01, presented by the renowned Japanese manufacturer, stands out for its combination of reliability, durability, and excellent operational characteristics. The tire has been developed using advanced technologies, which have significantly improved its working properties.
The base of the tread layer is a special compound that contains resins, natural rubber, and silicon dioxide. Special methods of mixing them have made it possible to create a mixture that is resistant to wear and reduces rolling resistance. In addition, the compound demonstrates an increased coefficient of adhesion, both on dry and wet roads, improving the safety of driving.
The model is equipped with an original tread for this type of tire - directional, symmetrical. Its center is occupied by a solid rib, which is distinguished by its density. Thanks to this, maneuverability and course stability have been achieved. Numerous blocks in the middle and shoulder zone have formed a multitude of gripping edges, which have increased the efficiency of acceleration and braking characteristics. Moreover, this also applies to wet asphalt. In rainy weather, the sharp edges quickly cut through the water film, and excess moisture is removed from the contact zone through drainage channels. The combination of these factors has minimized the risk of aquaplaning, improving control over the vehicle in rainy weather.
The model has a high-strength carcass, as well as reinforced sidewalls, which do not allow the deformation effect to change the contact area. Thanks to this, even at high speeds, it remains unchanged, which positively affects the tire's grip properties.
Main features of Bridgestone Expedia S-01:
- a universal summer model that can be installed on a wide range of passenger cars;
- a directional tread with pronounced symmetry well supports the stability of grip characteristics;
- a developed water drainage system actively participates not only in protection against hydroplaning but also contributes to reducing the temperature regime of the contact zone;
- a compound with natural and synthetic additives is characterized by its wear resistance and low rolling resistance.
