Features and Benefits: All season traction; Run flat tire model; High speed controllability; Comfortable performance; Bridgestone Turanza EL450 RFT TiresThe Bridgestone Turanza EL450 RFT is a touring, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model has some high performance sizes available as well. The tire offers great all season traction. The all season compound and the ideal tread design upgrade the grip on the road surface in dry, wet, and winter weather conditions. Durable compound elements optimize the rubber flexibility throughout the performance, while the tread elements firmly grip the road surface. The tire avoids hydroplaning in wet conditions, by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint. Maintaining the surface contact helps to upgrade the tire's steering responsiveness and driving stability. The optimal tread design's consistent road contact upgrades the driver's better control over the vehicle throughout the performance. The tread design's shoulder blocks help to upgrade the cornering ability with the use of extra biting edges. Details along the tread area allow the tire to generate friction at the moment of braking, decreasing the overall braking distance. The stronger structure also helps to enhance the high speed durability, resulting in a secure driving experience. This model is a run flat model. The stronger structure does not allow the tire to deform under the load pressure, enabling its secure, temporary performance in case of air pressure loss. The tire enables the model to be driven on for 50 miles up to 50 mph, once air pressure leaves the tire due to a puncture or some other damage. These tires should not be mixed with regular tires, as the stronger structure makes them heavier. The Bridgestone Turanza EL450 RFT boosts the comfort levels. Optimizing the siping placement allows the tire to negate the sound waves generated while the tires are in motion. They prevent sound waves from reaching the vehicle's cabin, guaranteeing a quiet performance. As road disturbances do not ruin the passengers' driving enjoyment. This tire model was manufactured as the original equipment tire of select 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.
