The Bridgestone Turanza ER300A summer tire is installed on compact and mid-size passenger cars. It is positioned by the manufacturer as a model equally well suited for long-distance travel and daily driving within the city limits. It is characterized by the "signature" reliability and durability on bad roads, improved traction on wet pavement, typical of the Japanese brand.
The tread pattern has an asymmetric arrangement of elements, distributed over several functional areas. One of them is the shoulder area on the inside, consisting of two longitudinal ribs. They contain elongated transverse edges that allow for intense acceleration and deceleration on wet pavement. The curved shape of the drainage grooves further reduces the risk of aquaplaning, enhancing the performance of the longitudinal water-draining elements, the volume of which has been significantly increased. The solid longitudinal rib located in the center increases directional stability and reduces rolling resistance at high speed. When maneuvering, it interacts with the rigid shoulder areas, providing precision in handling and reducing uneven wear.
The sidewalls of the tire have a "signature" reinforced design. The solution provides exceptional reliability on bad roads, characteristic of tires in this category. Even on large potholes, the tire retains its integrity, without suffering any damage. The durability on bad roads is largely due to the physico-chemical properties of the rubber compound. The compound is distinguished by its excellent tear and tensile strength, resistance to abrasive wear.
Key features of the Bridgestone Turanza ER300A
- a tread pattern with several functional areas provides efficiency in any conditions and driving modes;
- reinforced sidewalls provide exceptional reliability on bad roads;
- an increased volume of drainage grooves and a curved shape of some water-draining elements minimize the risk of hydroplaning;
- a rubber compound resistant to any mechanical stress, increasing the tire's grip on wet pavement.
