Bridgestone passenger car tyres

1. Winter. Thanks to pore structure the tread efficiently absorbs water, breaking the film between the ice and the car tire surface thus preventing slipping. Abrasive particles in the rubber compound act like microspikes and significantly enhance grip on ice-covered roads. Silicon supplements ensure a solid contact with the wet surface. The combination of sipes of various configurations improves the vehicle stability when cornering and increases the precision of steering.
2. Summer. They ensure the vehicle driving stability on wet and dry roads. The tires are responsive to steering inputs. Thanks to a special design of the grooves, that become longer with the abrasion, the auto tyres retain perfect grip performance even after 50% tread wear.
3. All season. They are produced from rubber resistant to tearing and cracking. The tires maintain their performance characteristics both at low and at high temperatures. Excellent tread design promotes immediate water dispersion from the contact patch and improves the vehicle stability when driving at high speeds, providing safe maneuvering. Some types of passenger car tires maintain perfect grip performance even at speeds over 200 km/h. Due to a reinforced carcass they can endure high loads up to 975 kg.
