Bridgestone Turanza T005
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Summer weather traction
- High speed controllability
- Fuel efficient performance
OVERVIEW
The Bridgestone Turanza T005 (*) is a high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model has some touring sizes available as well. This specific tire is marked with (*) as it is the original equipment of BMW vehicles.
The tire promotes great summer weather traction. The asymmetric tread design and the summer compound work together to boost the dry and wet weather road gripping ability. The asymmetric tread design enhances the grip on the road surface with a higher number of biting edges. The high silica Nano Pro-tech compound avoids heat build-up and improves the performing capability. The tread's wide circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water from below the footprint. As a result, the tire improves the summer weather road gripping ability.
The model improves the high speed performance and the controllability. The durable steel belt structure and the optimal footprint's road contact enhances the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. This boosts the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. The optimal tread design's surface contact boosts the braking ability by creating friction between the tire and the road surface at the moment of braking, which significantly decreases the braking distance. The stronger steel belt and stiff polyester reinforcement and the Nano Pro-tech high silica compound increase the high speed durability. The structure does not deform under the pressure, while the compound avoids heat build-up and these enhancements enable the tire to securely perform at its greatest high speed capability.
The Turanza T005 (*) manages to increase the fuel efficiency. The optimized summer traction and the reinforced internal structure ease the driving pressure off the tire, minimizing its rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the driving pressure which regulates the vehicle's needed fuel intake in order to keep the tires in motion. By lowering the rolling resistance, the tire lessens the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels throughout the drive. This enables the model to enhance the fuel conscious and environmentally friendly driving experience.
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.
