Bridgestone Turanza T005 RFT
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Summer weather traction
- High speed controllability
- Fuel efficient performance
- Run flat tire model
OVERVIEW
The Bridgestone Turanza T005 RFT (MOExtended) is a high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model has some touring sizes as well. This specific tire is marked with MOExtended as it is the original equipment of RunFlat Mercedes 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 tire features a reinforced internal structure to increase the driving safety levels. The stronger construction enables the tire to withstand the weight of the vehicle and its passengers after air pressure loss. This allows the tire to be driven on once air pressure leaves the tire for 50 miles up the speed of 50 mph. In this manner, the tire does not allow the vehicle to be stranded on the side of the road. Instead it can safely arrive at a nearby location where the damaged tire can be fixed or changed. These tires should not be mounted on the same vehicle as regular tires.
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 RFT (MOExtended) 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.
