Summer tire for passenger cars Bridgestone Turanza LS100A is a model for everyday use. The key difference from the tire without the letter A in the name is the lack of any features to ensure safe movement on snow. Instead, it offers stable traction on wet pavement, increased accuracy of steering at high speeds, low noise level, and fuel efficiency.
The tread pattern is distinguished by enlarged longitudinal grooves. Their volume is more than enough for the tire to avoid aquaplaning even with significant wear of the tread part. And this moment comes at very high mileage, thanks to the composition of the rubber compound. It, although based on natural rubber and "silica", contains a complex of special polymers. They increase the strength of the compound on a molecular level, increasing its resistance to tearing and stretching, which gives the tread excellent resistance to abrasive wear, punctures, and the formation of small cracks. These properties are further enhanced by the technology of producing the rubber compound, ensuring its high uniformity.
Another feature of the tread pattern is the massiveness of the blocks and their resistance to deformation. This noticeably increases the stability of the coupling properties and the accuracy of steering, especially at high speeds, which significantly simplifies control over the trajectory of the vehicle's movement. In addition, this solution reduces rolling resistance and prevents the occurrence and development of uneven wear.
Key features of Bridgestone Turanza LS100A
- advanced compound in terms of composition and production technology provides the tread with excellent resistance to abrasive wear, punctures, tears, and the formation of small cracks;
- increased block stiffness provides stable traction and steering accuracy, reduces uneven wear and fuel consumption;
- enlarged longitudinal grooves even with significant tread wear provide high resistance to aquaplaning.
