Bridgestone Turanza LS100 A RFT. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Run flat tire model; All season traction; Enhanced controllability; High driving comfort levels; . OVERVIEW: The Bridgestone Turanza LS100 A RFT (*) is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. This specific tire is marked with (*) as it is the original equipment of BMW vehicles.This is a run flat tire. That means it can be driven for a limited time, even after air pressure loss. In other words, when air pressure leaves the tire due to a puncture or some other damage, the tire can still perform for 50 miles up to the speed of 50 mph. This makes sure the vehicle will not be stranded on the side of the road. Instead, the structure withstands the weight of the vehicle and its passengers, allowing the vehicle to safely arrive at a nearby location. Run flat tires should not be mounted on the same vehicle together with regular tires, due to their heavier construction.Excellent all season traction is promoted. The all season compound works together with the detailed ribbed tread design in order to increase dry, wet, and winter weather grip. Stronger rubber materials offer optimized flexibility, keeping the tire pliable throughout the year. Additionally, the tire firmly grips the road surface as well, creating extra biting edges. Four circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning in wet conditions, effectively dispersing water and slush from the footprint.Maintaining its surface contact allows the tire to enhance its controllability. The stable footprint helps to significantly increase its steering responsiveness and driving stability. The tire upgrades its steering response time and accuracy, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. Additionally, the shoulder block placement enhances cornering with the use of extra biting edges. The sipe and groove pattern creates friction when braking, significantly shortening its overall stopping distance. This enables the tire's exceptional overall handling and maneuvering.The Bridgestone Turanza LS100 A RFT (*) improves comfort levels. The ideal tread design and the flat footprint effectively lower road noise and vibrations. This is made possible thanks to the optimized footprint. Road noise levels are decreased thanks to the tread design, which prevents sound wave formations. On the other hand, the close surface contact absorbs the shock of driving, lowering vibrations. This guaranteed a quiet and comfortable 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.
