Bridgestone Turanza T001 RFT 225/50R18, Summer, High Performance tires.

Features and Benefits: Summer weather traction; Run flat tire model; Improved controllability; Longer tread life; Bridgestone Turanza T001 RFT TiresThe Bridgestone Turanza T001 RFT is a touring, summer model made for passenger tires. This model is a run flat model, which means that the tire can be driven on for 50 miles at up to the speed of 50 mph after the loss of air pressure, as the reinforced sidewalls support the weight of the vehicle and the passengers. The tire offers excellent summer weather traction and it grips the road well in dry and wet weather. The wide main circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water from below the tire footprint, for a safer driving experience. The special Nano Pro-Tech used in its manufacture increases its wet weather traction and, by doing so, improves the summer weather performing capability. The tire offers excellent road comfort. The great five-degree variable pitch sequence cancels out the road noise heard while the tires are in motion and offers a quiet driving experience. The optimized road contact patch also improves the performing ability by maintaining constant road contact. It also prevents irregular tread wear from forming by evenly distributing the driving pressure along the tread area. The Bridgestone Turanza T001 RFT improves its braking and handling ability. The special high angle tread blocks create friction at the moment of braking. This improves the braking ability and shortens the braking distance significantly. The internal structure's slim high bead filler ensures steering responsiveness and driving stability to allow the tire to quickly and accurately respond to the driver's commands, making the tire safer to use. This tire model was manufactured as the original equipment tire of select BMW vehicles. 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.
