Bridgestone RD688

The Bridgestone RD688/N summer tire is designed for light trucks and is the best in its class. The manufacturer is known for its advanced technologies, which it uses in the production of tires. In the creation of this model, the best materials and advanced technologies were applied. As a result, it was possible to obtain a tire that has excellent handling qualities and at the same time has an affordable cost.

Massive Tread Pattern

The company's specialists have specially chosen a massive tread pattern for the Bridgestone RD688, with unusually shaped blocks. The central row provides confident directional stability, making handling as precise and predictable as possible. The elongated blocks in the lateral zone reliably protect the tire from damage and punctures, as well as improve stability when passing various turns. Two deep channels quickly remove water and dirt from the contact zone, preventing the risk of aquaplaning. A large number of small notches and cuts increase traction on wet roads and reduce noise while driving. A special rubber ring in the shoulder area protects the tire from curbing.

Updated Rubber Compound

When developing the rubber compound, the specialists tried to achieve increased elasticity. This was made possible by using a new type of silica. As a result, the traction characteristics were improved, and the recovery properties were accelerated. The tire confidently holds the road in various weather conditions and reduces the load on the suspension elements. Also, the new rubber compound contributed to a reduction in the rolling resistance coefficient, which reduced fuel consumption while driving and increased stability at high speeds.
