Bridgestone Turanza LS100 A RFT 225/45R18, All Season, Touring tires.

Features and Benefits: All season traction; Increased controllability; Run flat tire model; Comfortable performance; Bridgestone Turanza LS100 A RFT TiresThe Bridgestone Turanza LS100 A RFT is a touring, all season tire made for passenger vehicles. The tire offers excellent all season traction. The stronger compound and the optimal ribbed footprint work together to make this happen. They ensure excellent dry, wet, and winter traction, by generating biting edges. Grooves and sipe placement create biting edges to enhance traction. At the same time, the compound keeps rubber flexibility in summer and winter conditions. Circumferential grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint, preventing hydroplaning in wet conditions. Exceptional controllability is provided as well. The ribbed tread designs surface contact upgrades steering responsiveness and driving stability. As a result, it significantly improves its steering response time and accuracy, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. Additionally, the shoulder blocks provide traction in order to enhance their cornering ability. The sipe and groove placement along the tread area generates friction, in order to shorten its braking distance. This enables the tire to increase its overall performance. This is a run flat model which maintains its ideal tire shape after air pressure loss. As a result, the tire can be driven for 50 miles up to 50 mph once air pressure leaves the tire due to punctures or some other damage. The tire offers excellent safety, since the vehicle will not be stranded on the side of the road. Run flat tires should not be mounted on the same vehicle as regular tires, as they feature heavier structures. The Bridgestone Turanza LS100 A RFT offers better comfort levels. The ideal tread design and the flat footprint maintain surface contact at all times. In this manner, the tire significantly decreases the tires road noise and vibrations. The footprint avoids sound wave formations, lessening the intensity of road noise heard by the passengers. Close surface contact absorbs the shock of driving, decreasing road vibrations. This combination manages to promote an enjoyable driving experience. This tire model was manufactured as the original equipment tire of select Mercedes-Benz 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.
