- Precise steering responsiveness
- Reduced road noise levels
OVERVIEW
The Bridgestone Turanza ER33 RFT is a performance or high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.
The model's stronger construction enables the tire's limited temporary performance after air pressure loss. This structure withstands the weight of the vehicle and its passengers for 50 miles up to 50 mph in case air pressure leaves the tire, due to a puncture or other damage. This ensures the tire's safer performance as it prevents the vehicle from being stranded on the side of the road. Instead, the tire can be driven on to reach a nearby garage where the damaged tire can be fixed or changed. These tires are not to be mounted on the same vehicle with regular tires.
The special tire compound used in the manufacture of this tire provides first-rate summer weather traction. It grips the road well in dry and wet conditions, but it will not perform well in winter. The tire compound loses its traction in the colder winter months, and it is not recommended to use these tires in lower temperatures. The lateral and circumferential grooves in the tread provide resistance to hydroplaning by evacuating water from below the tire footprint.
The tire's reinforced steel belt construction enhances its durability. The tire maintains its shape during high speed driving and, as it does not deform, the tire is safer to use at such speeds. The reinforced structure of the tire also improves its resistance against accidental punctures. The tire's tread prevents punctures from happening with its internal reinforcement and it extends the tire's usability and life.
The great high speed durability is further enhanced with the spiral wrap structure. This provides the tire with better high speed driving stability as is also resists deformation. The performing ability of the tire is improved by the precise steering responsiveness. This swift and accurate steering responsiveness is the result of the maximized road contact patch and it is designed to grip the road better. The tire responds to the commands of the driver with ease, allowing the driver to confidently control the tire in both wet and dry road conditions.
The Turanza ER33 RFT's five rib tread pattern lowers the road noise heard in the cabin of the vehicle by channeling the soundwaves through the footprint of the vehicle. This provides a quiet and comfortable driving experience for the passengers even during the vehicle's high speed performance.
