OVERVIEW
The Bridgestone Turanza EL400-02 (NR1) is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model has some high performance sizes as well. The tire is marked as a NR1 model, as it is the original equipment tire of select Nissan vehicles.
The tire's special compound and tread pattern help improve its all weather traction and it enhances its road grip in dry, wet, and light winter conditions. The tire's wide tread grooves enhance its wet weather traction and prevent hydroplaning by channeling water from below the footprint of the model. Its exceptional traction and road grip help increase the safety levels of the tire in all road conditions.
The new and improved tread pattern lowers the possibility of irregular wear on the tire. This is made possible as the tread maintains constant contact with the road and equally spreads out the driving force across the tread. This even distribution provides balanced tread wear throughout the tire's life. The tire's internal steel belt structure also enhances the tread, as it makes it resistant to accidental punctures and damages. The even wear on the tire and its puncture resistance extend the tread's life.
The steel belt structure also improves the tire's driving durability, as it maintains the tire's shape under the driving pressure. This, along with the special, rounder tire shape, increases the driving balance of the model in all weather and road conditions. The tire is capable of performing better because of this. The driver's control over the model was also improved on both wet and dry road surfaces. The contemporary tread design offers precise steering responsiveness, and the tire responds swiftly and accurately to the driver's commands.
The Turanza EL400-02 (NR1) offers a quiet driving experience. The 5-degree noise reduction system lowers the road noise by canceling out the sound waves generated by the tire while driving.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
