Summer tire for passenger cars Bridgestone Turanza T002, like other models in this line, is distinguished by the balance of driving properties, making it an excellent option for everyday use. It is characterized by improved traction properties and driving comfort on wet pavement, fuel efficiency, and increased resistance to abrasive wear. Designed for use in compact passenger cars, in particular, for the Toyota Prius, as part of its primary equipment.
The balance of driving properties of this model is largely due to the optimized tire carcass design. It has special deformation zones that allow the tire, under the influence of dynamically changing loads, to take a shape that maintains maximum contact with the road surface. A side effect of this innovation was an increase in smoothness of ride and a very low level of noise and vibration for tires of this brand.
Another feature of the tire is the presence of a reinforced breaker. An additional nylon cord located directly under the tread and made using the "seamless" winding technology increases the resistance of the tread pattern elements. This significantly improves the directional stability at high speeds, provides more accurate handling, reduces rolling resistance, and slows down the process of abrasive wear of the tire, increasing its mileage.
The tread pattern is distinguished by the location and size of the longitudinal grooves, due to which it even received the name "Triple and a Half Groove". Three wide drainage elements in the central part serve as water reservoirs, providing its intensive removal from under the tire. In the outer shoulder area, there is another narrow groove, which significantly increases the resistance to aquaplaning during maneuvering. Here, it is impossible not to note the massiveness and very rigid construction of the outer shoulder area. The deformation-resistant section of the tread provides reliable contact and sports sharpness in handling due to the lightning-fast reactions of the tire to the driver's actions in turns.
Main features of Bridgestone Turanza T002
- The "Triple and a Half Groove" tread pattern is extremely effective on wet pavement;
- The optimized carcass and reinforced breaker provide sports sharpness in handling, stability of contact at high speeds;
- The increased outer shoulder area increases stability in turns, provides the driver with clear feedback on the steering wheel.
