Bridgestone Turanza EL440 – a premium touring tire that can be used in an all-season mode. The only clarification is that the model is more oriented towards a warm climate, making it suitable for mild, low-snow winters. It is characterized by a high level of driving comfort, reliability, and durability, a combination of which the manufacturer was able to achieve through the application of advanced modeling technologies.
The tire compound is a proprietary development of the Japanese company. It includes silica, which allows maintaining the plasticity of the rubber at the same level regardless of the temperature regime. This helps maintain working characteristics and preserves a high level of comfort, neutralizing minor vibrations. The application of the NanoPro-Tech technology implies the use of special polymers that, at the molecular level, strengthen the rubber structure, increasing resistance to wear. In combination, these factors not only guarantee comfort but also serve as a guarantee of prolonged operation.
Special attention was paid to the internal structure of the tire. Here, solid steel belts were used, reinforced with spirally arranged nylon threads. This made it possible to increase the efficiency of damping micro-vibrations and maintain a high level of strength.
The model is equipped with an asymmetric, non-directional tread pattern, which is segmented into three ring elements in the central part. These structural formations guarantee high precision control and also increase maneuverability. Their action is complemented by sidewalls made of a more durable compound, which neutralize the deformation effect that occurs when performing maneuvers. As a result, the stability of the transport is maintained, and control is preserved. The presence of differently directed grooves and deep central channels positively affects protection against hydroplaning and improves traction on wet and slippery roads (due to the increased edge effect). Thus, a high efficiency of the tire was achieved in various seasons of the year.
Main features of Bridgestone Turanza EL440:
- a touring tire with an increased resource, provided by a special compound composition;
- confident handling at various speed modes due to the optimization of the rib structure;
- a developed edge effect contributes to maintaining the stability of the car on wet and slippery road surfaces;
- a reinforced carcass guarantees reliable protection against damage, and the presence of elastic layers allows for an increased ability to suppress vibrations.
