Bridgestone R196A

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Enhanced controllability
• Longer lasting tread life
• Improved load durability

OVERVIEW

The Bridgestone R196A is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. The tire was made for the vehicle's all axle positions.

The model's tread pattern upgrades its controllability. The symmetric ribbed tread pattern upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability with the better road contact. The five-rib tread pattern improves the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The better control over the tires enables the driver to confidently maneuver the vehicle in various conditions.

The tire manages to extend its usability. The symmetric ribbed pattern's flat and wider footprint maintains the tire's contact with the road surface, which enables the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally circulated forces of acceleration, cornering and braking avoids the formation of irregular tread wear across the tire's surface. This, along with the durable compound's wear resistance, lengthens the tread life and the tire's usability by ensuring a decreased and even tread wear rate.

The R196A boosts its load durability. The tire's reinforced internal structure upgrades the load and the driving durability. This manages to maintain the ideal tire shape under the pressure affecting the model. As the tire shape does not deform under the load and driving pressure, the model is capable of carrying and withstanding heavy loads with ease. This enables the tire to increase its load capacity and ensure a secure driving experience.
