Features and Benefits: All season traction; Improved controllability; Run flat tire model; Longer tread life; Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport AS RFT TiresThe Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport AS RFT is a performance and high performance, all season tire made to be mounted on passenger vehicles and SUVs. The model provides excellent all weather traction and... moreroad gripping ability. The tread design firmly grips the road in all dry, wet and winter weather and promotes safer driving conditions. The special tread design features wide and deep tread grooves that actively prevent hydroplaning by evacuating water and slush from below the tire footprint. This tire is a run flat model, which means that after air pressure loss it supports the weight of the vehicle and the passengers for a limited time. In case of air pressure loss, the tire can be driven on for 50 miles up to the speed of 50 mph, allowing the driver to safety arrive at a destination when they can change or repair the tire. These tires are made for vehicles without space for spare tires and they cannot be mixed with regular tires. A long lasting tread life is guaranteed with the L. L. Carbon construction. This compound creates a long link chain on the molecular levels throughout the tire's surface, which evenly distributes the driving pressure along the tread area. The equal distribution of this pressure prevents irregular wear patterns from forming across the tread surface and promotes an extended tread life. The Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport AS RFT is easily controlled in all weather. Its O-Bead structure maintains constant road contact, which boosts the steering responsiveness and stability, even at high speeds. The computer optimized tread design brings out the maximum performing capability, offering excellent controllability and performance at the same time. 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.
