The Bridgestone R187 tire is designed for commercial vehicles with small and medium payload capacity. The model is offered in two sizes: 8.25R15 and 11R22.5. It is characterized by versatility in application, as it can be installed on both the steering and trailer axles, as well as reliable traction on wet surfaces, durability, and long mileage before replacement.
Reliability on poor roads
The tire is distinguished by high reliability even on roads of poor quality. Resistance to aggressive mechanical impact is ensured by several factors. First of all, it is a all-steel carcass, which, in addition to increasing the payload capacity, reduces the risk of damage. Additional protection is provided by the tread rubber compound. It has high resistance to abrasive and uneven wear, as well as strength, which minimizes the likelihood of puncture or cuts. It is worth noting the presence of so-called "stone ejectors" in the drainage grooves, which further increases the reliability of the tire.
Improved braking properties
The tire tread contains a large number of narrow slits. They are located at a small angle to the direction of movement and have a zigzag shape. The main purpose of these slits is to reduce the braking distance on wet surfaces. The inclination increases the directional stability, and the zigzag shape gives the tire additional efficiency in this mode of movement.
Main features of the Bridgestone R187 tire
- designed for installation on the steering and trailer axles;
- five solid longitudinal ribs improve directional stability, prevent wear, reduce rolling resistance;
- transverse zigzag lamellas reduce the braking distance on wet surfaces;
- longitudinal slits in the shoulder areas prevent wear and lateral skidding.
