In China, the new Bridgestone summer tire is presented

In the urban district of Yixing, Jiangsu Province (China), a presentation of the new summer passenger tires Bridgestone B'Style EX001 was held, which were developed specifically for the Chinese market in conjunction with Tuhu Car, the leading online platform offering car maintenance services.

According to Minoru Kuroki, the head of Bridgestone (China) Investment, China as the world's largest automotive market is of key importance for the company, and the most important feature of the new tire is its enhanced grip on wet surfaces, which increases the level of safety.

According to the results of the manufacturer's internal tests, the braking efficiency of the new tires on wet roads has increased by 20% compared to the products of the previous generation, and fuel efficiency has increased by 19%. The improvement in braking performance in rainy weather was achieved through the use of NanoPro-Tech technology, which allows changing a wide range of properties of rubber compounds, as well as an optimized tread pattern that includes blocks with rounded edges.

The new pattern also helped to increase the evenness of forces in the contact patch, which, according to Bridgestone, improved handling on wet surfaces, comfort, and energy efficiency. Compared to the tires of the previous generation, the smoothness of the ride was improved by 8%, and the noise was reduced by 4%, the manufacturer reports.

Bridgestone adds that they are actively working to increase their share in the premium segment of the Chinese market, "constantly introducing innovations and releasing new products to meet the needs of Chinese car owners." "In the future, we will continue to strengthen our position in the Chinese market, investing in research and development, as well as expanding the range of premium-class tires," says Bridgestone.

Bridgestone B'Style EX001 are available on the market in 11 sizes from 205/60 R16 to 235/45 R18.
