The all-season tire Bridgestone Turanza el400-02 is ideal for year-round use in regions with so-called "European" winters. The model demonstrates its greatest efficiency on wet roads with individual snowy sections, standing out in such conditions with reliable handling, stability of traction properties, as well as acoustic comfort, smooth ride, and long service life.
The tread pattern is notable for the increased number of traction edges. A significant part of them is formed by lamellas cut into all blocks without exception. These elements form hundreds of sharpened multidirectional edges that easily penetrate the water film, ensuring reliable handling on wet surfaces even with significant tire wear. Most of the lamellas intersect with each other, which expands their functionality, as this allows the blocks to adhere to the road surface with an increased area, thereby increasing the stability of traction properties and preventing rapid abrasive wear of the tire tread. It's worth noting the use of an optimized rubber compound that enhances the effectiveness of these tread elements. It contains a fairly large amount of "silica", which keeps the tire elastic at low temperatures, allowing it to more closely hug the irregularities on the road surface. Another important feature of this model is the arrangement of tread pattern elements with a certain offset relative to each other. This prevents the occurrence of resonant noises and vibrations, which has a positive effect on the acoustic comfort inside the vehicle. This solution prevents the tire from overheating during prolonged high-speed driving, reducing rolling resistance and the likelihood of formation of small cracks and tears in the tread, increasing the tire's mileage.
Key features of Bridgestone Turanza el400-02:
- the increased number of multidirectional lamellas provides reliable handling on wet and snowy surfaces;
- the rubber compound with high "silica" content remains elastic at low temperatures, improving traction in winter conditions;
- massive shoulder blocks with elongated transverse walls and a trapezoidal profile improve handling accuracy and course stability when cornering
