Like other representatives of this line, the Bridgestone Turanza ER370 summer tire is designed for car enthusiasts who value a high level of comfort but are not willing to sacrifice sporty handling for it. Using advanced technologies and materials, the specialists of the Japanese concern were able to provide quick and accurate responses to the driver's actions, giving the tire quietness and softness on the go.
Asymmetric Tread Pattern of Bridgestone Turanza ER370
The combination of high comfort and sporty handling is ensured, largely due to the asymmetric design of the tread pattern. It contains several functional zones that, differing from each other in various design features, improve certain operational properties. At the same time, there are usually several of them. In particular, the shoulder zones, thanks to the presence of many wide blocks, improve not only stability during maneuvering but also braking efficiency. Due to their massive size and long gripping edges, these blocks give the Bridgestone Turanza ER370 tire excellent stability during deceleration, which, in turn, reduces the braking distance.
The continuous longitudinal rib in the central part of the tread has similar multifunctionality. When driving at high speeds, this tread element provides directional stability, and, in addition to the shoulder blocks, it provides quick and accurate responses to steering wheel turns.
High Level of Comfort
The softness and quietness on the go are ensured by a number of solutions, most of which are hidden inside the tire design. First of all, it is a two-layer tread. Its upper layer is made of an elastic rubber compound, which dampens most of the shocks from small irregularities, creating a feeling of softness on the go. As for the low noise level of the Bridgestone Turanza ER370, it was possible to ensure it largely due to the tread pattern design. During its development, computer simulation technologies were used, which made it possible to find such a combination of the arrangement of forms and sizes of individual tread elements that they generate a minimum of noise and vibrations.
Key Features:
- Asymmetric tread pattern provides maximum performance on dry and wet roads;
- Increased resistance to aquaplaning of the Bridgestone Turanza ER370 due to multiple drainage grooves;
- Wide shoulder zones with a large number of massive blocks improve traction during maneuvering and also reduce the braking distance.
