TURANZA T001

The Bridgestone Turanza T001, launched in 2012, is a luxury touring tyre, approved as original equipment on the Mercedes B class and other prestige vehicles. It features a host of elements that deliver optimised ride comfort and superior performance. Its advanced tread pattern offers the highest level of safety and performance across all driving conditions.Each tyre comes with high-stiffness lateral and longitudinal shoulder blocks that provide maximum braking force and handling performance. The T001's wide water-evacuating grooves add to the safety of your ride by increasing resistance to aquaplaning and enabling shorter braking distance in wet conditions. It also has an additional noise reduction groove built into the tread, resulting in lower sound emissions for outstanding driving comfort. Superior grip in the wet, combined with improved braking performance and ride comfort makes the Bridgestone Turanza T001 a tyre that has found the right balance between handling and comfort and the perfect tyre of choice for prestige tourers.

320 A A

•  320 Treadwear:
This grade represents the tyre's expected life/duration, ranging between 100 to 1000. Usually, the higher the treadwear rating, the longer the tyre life.

•  A Traction:
This grade represents the tyre's capability to stop on wet asphalt and pavement. Ratings are expressed in letter form, with AA being the highest and C as the lowest.

•  A Temperature:
This grade represents the tyre's heat resistance ability, with A as the highest and C as the lowest. Heat build-up causes the rubber to break down faster, which can cause blowouts. The higher the temperature rating, the longer the tyre life and the higher the speed rating.

Asymmetrical tread patterns combine different tread types to deliver maximum wet and dry road grip via its inner and middle tread, while outside, larger and rigid tread blocks dominate the design to improve cornering.

To avoid fitting mistakes, asymmetrical tyres are labelled "outside" and "inside only" so you know if they will face your vehicle or out.
