Bridgestone Turanza EL400 RFT 225/60R17, All Season, Touring tires.

Features and Benefits: All season traction; Improved handling; Run flat model; Comfortable drive; Bridgestone Turanza EL400 RFT TiresThe Bridgestone Turanza EL400 RFT is a touring, all season tire made for passenger vehicles. This model comes with strong sidewall construction that supports the tire in case of an air pressure loss. These strong structural materials offer a limited performance for 50 miles after air completely leaves the tire due to puncture or some other type of damage. It prevents the vehicle from being stranded on the side of the road and allows the driver to take it to the nearest location and safely change the tire. The run flat models should not be mounted on the same vehicle together with the regular ones due to their difference in construction. The specially designed tread elements are able to lower the road noise and vibrations while tires are in motion. The ideal tread design channels airwaves throughout the footprint and prevents them from generating road noise by coming into contact with tread elements. The stabilized footprint maintains a consistent road contact and absorbs road vibrations. This allows the passengers to enjoy a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The symmetric ribbed tread maximizes the surface contact and improves the overall handling ability and driving stability. The tire is able to respond faster and more precisely to the driver's instructions, while structure is secured against the driving pressure. The sipe and notch placement boost the number of biting edges and enhance the maneuverability. It allows the driver to maintain a phenomenal control over the vehicle all the time. The Bridgestone Turanza EL400 RFT benefits from its all season compound materials and detailed tread ribs to boost the year round traction. These tread ribs with its optimal sipe placement improve the performance in dry, wet, and winter weather conditions. The compound maintains rubber flexibility in various temperatures, optimizing the all season performance. On the other hand, the circumferential grooves channel water and slush away from the footprint, actively resisting the risk of hydroplaning. 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.
