15 Best Bridgestone Tires

Despite the fact that Bridgestone updated this tire model with the release of the Turanza T001, the ER300 continues to be in great demand and popular with car enthusiasts. Road impact resistance and sidewall strength give these tires excellent directional stability at high speeds. At the same time, the car is predictable in handling, but fast turns now and then strive to end in a skid. The driver has to clearly control the pressure on the accelerator pedal, but the tire allows you to "feel" a fine line of stability when maneuvering.

Owners appreciate it for its phenomenal rigidity - the impact of serious potholes does not damage the rubber. Where the nearest competitors of other brands get hernias and ruptures, the Bridgestone Turanza ER300 does without consequences at all.The reviews also note quite comfortable high-speed maneuvering on perfectly smooth asphalt. But as soon as you find yourself on a pavement or a road dotted with patches and potholes, the behavior of the tire changes - the control becomes less accurate, and you have to slow down. Due to excessive rigidity, the noise level of this rubber leaves much to be desired.

Summer tires Bridgestone MY-02 Sporty Style are affordable. They are designed for lovers of a sporty driving style. This rubber is used for small and medium class cars. Despite the priority in speed and drive, tires can be called universal. A distinctive feature of the model range is the aggressive design, which is given by the tread grooves in the form of lightning. Thanks to this V-shaped pattern, the tires have excellent grip, both on dry road surfaces and on asphalt after heavy rain. The external pressure on the tire is evenly distributed due to the minimal curvature of the tread profile. The model is offered to motorists in 18 sizes.

In reviews, car owners note such positive properties of Bridgestone sports tires as road stability, noiselessness, and a strong side part. Of the minuses, sliding on wet grass is distinguished, and the rubber does not feel confident in a rut.

This summer tire was introduced to the consumer last year, and has already managed (in just one season!) to become a fairly popular tire from the Bridgestone model line. NANO PRO-TECHT technology made it possible to achieve uniformity of silica molecules in the rubber mixture. This gave the tire an excellent balance and was reflected in its efficiency - at long distances, the reduction in fuel consumption is especially noticeable. The tires, however, turned out to be quite noisy, but their behavior on the road and wear resistance fully justify the acoustic discomfort (besides, the noise level is not as critical as competitors say it is).

High directional stability and reliable grip (especially on wet roads) open up the possibility of virtuoso driving - regardless of the selected speed, the sharp steering wheel allows you to perform mind-blowing turns - the driver literally feels the line, crossing which, the car will go into a skid. In the reviews left, supplementing the above, users highly appreciate the safety of the BRIDGESTONE ALENZA 001 tires. Cars on this rubber stop as well as they start - with virtually no slippage, literally clinging to the asphalt surface. Without a doubt, this feature of tires is one of the most attractive for many owners of crossovers or SUVs.

To be honest, it would not be entirely correct to call this model a sports one - its characteristics offer the owner both a comfortable noise level and excellent handling. It doesn’t roll at all, but enters the turns like a knife through butter. The latest Bridgestone developments have been implemented in this summer tire, providing the Turanza T005 with phenomenal stability during high-speed maneuvering on wet pavement. Satisfactory braking performance is somewhat behind the more rigid sports tires, however, both on the highway and on country roads, they provide a decent level of safety.

Owners who have already tested this year's new product consider it the most successful tire for long-distance travel in the summer season. In their reviews, they emphasize the predictability of Bridgestone Turanza T005 tires in all conditions, moderate noise levels and high economy. Low rolling resistance, effective water removal from the contact patch and reinforced shoulder blocks increased the tire's resistance to deformation and ensured even braking loads. Not having time to really appear on the market, tires have already begun to be used in the factory equipment of such prestigious car brands as Audi, BMW and Lexus.

The Bridgestone Potenza RE003 Adrenalin was able to combine the performance of premium high performance tires with the wear resistance of the budget segment. At the same time, the behavior on the road of a car “shod” in this rubber can be called more than confident. High-speed maneuvering on any asphalt is characterized by high precision and fast tire response to steering wheel rotations.

The rigidity of the tread is largely ensured by its unusual pattern. Japanese engineers have developed a unique rubber compound that effectively resists abrasion and greatly extends the life of these summer Bridgestones. In the reviews of the owners, the ability to accurately enter turns at high speeds is highly appreciated - the effectiveness of the resistance to side slip, compared with the previous model, has increased significantly.To fully enjoy the speed and perfect traction, high safety (braking distance from 100 km/h on a dry surface - 37.5 m) and handling sensitivity, these tires must first be warmed up.

There is no doubt that we have a premium class tire, in the design of which more than one modern high-tech solution has been used. Only because of its cost Bridgestone Turanza ER42 did not become the leader of the rating in this category. This model is included in the factory equipment of some prestigious car brands (for example, the BMW 7 series), which in itself speaks of high performance. The secret lies in the use of Side Support Run Flat technology. Reinforced sidewall with steel cord retains wheel geometry in case of tire damage and does not lead to loss of control.

The peculiarity of the structure of the tread blocks is in the form of symmetrical cuts that allow you to change the angles and sizes of the pattern checkers. This happens depending on the operating conditions and the selected driving mode, providing a high acoustic level of comfort on any surface. When maneuvering and driving at different speeds, the owners note the stability of behavior and better grip.The slightest movement of the steering wheel immediately finds its response in a change in the trajectory - the tires instantly and accurately realize the course set by the driver. Also, the reviews note excellent hydroplaning resistance and slow wear, which fully justifies the high cost of this Bridgestone model.

This Bridgestone tire is designed for middle-class cars and is able to provide a decent level of comfort while driving. The tire proved to be excellent on wet highways, copes well with country and forest roads. The soft sidewall makes them unsuitable for vigorous turns. Moreover, it is absolutely not designed for fans of high-speed driving. Her element is only calm driving.

Judging by the reviews, Bridgestone Ecopia EP200 tires have a serious operational resource. Rubber behaves well on bad pavement, smoothing out small bumps and potholes. Driving at speeds (up to 140 km / h) on straight sections does not require constant steering adjustment - the tires hold the road perfectly. Balancing during installation costs minimal loads up to 20-25 grams. Another strong point is the good economy of this summer tire, which is noticeable on long journeys. Also, no one particularly complains about traction, subject to a calm driving style.

Tires from the Bridgestone Potenza S001 series can boast a minimum noise level while driving. The Japanese manufacturer managed to achieve unique properties through the introduction of a number of innovations. In the preparation of the rubber compound, polyethylene terephthalate was used, which had a positive effect on the adhesion of the tire to the road. It was possible to reduce noise after the introduction of the Silent AC block. Thanks to this solution, it was possible to find a compromise between driving comfort and sporty performance. After strengthening the outer blocks, it became easier to maintain an optimal trajectory in tight turns. As a result, the Potenza S001 series has become the most balanced in its price segment.

In the reviews you can find a number of positive qualities of rubber. It holds the road well, does not make noise, wears out slowly, gives good feedback when maneuvering. Among the shortcomings, the high price and heavy weight are often mentioned.

The most energy efficient series in the Bridgestone collection is the Ecopia EP850. Tires are designed for use in the summer on off-road vehicles. Equipping crossovers and jeeps with this rubber has several advantages.They lie in the design of tires. Thanks to the asymmetric directional pattern, the wheels have excellent grip on different types of road surfaces. The manufacturer added special silicone and polymer additives to the rubber compound. As a result, traction performance has improved. The rigid design of the shoulder zones increased the tread resistance and improved handling.

Users flatter about such properties of Bridgestone Ecopia EP850 as reliability, durability, stability on any road. When driving off-road, the car does not break down, it behaves predictably. The downside of rubber is that with 30% wear, off-road properties are lost, difficulties with balancing appear.

Serious off-road vehicles require Bridgestone Dueler H/T D684 tires. It is designed for difficult off-road, but in extreme conditions, the tires create a comfortable environment for the driver. When designing and manufacturing tires, the most advanced technologies (such as UNI-T) were applied, new formulations of the rubber composition and tread design were developed. Reinforced sides allow you to safely move off-road without fear of stumbling on sharp stones or tree roots. Many car manufacturers have appreciated the capabilities of the Bridgestone Dueler H / T D684, including them as standard equipment on their cars. These are Honda CR-V, Mitsubishi Pajero, Nissan Patrol and Toyota Land Cruiser Prado.

In the reviews, car owners list such advantages of the series as softness, wear resistance, stability on wet roads.Somewhat spoils the overall impression of noise and rapid blurring in the mud.

The tire is designed for operation on asphalt and dirt roads with the ability to overcome moderate off-road conditions. The versatility of this All Terrain ensures high performance in all conditions. This implies that the share of trips outside the asphalt pavement should not exceed half of the total mileage. This model of Bridgestone summer tires received a deep tread with an effective pattern - the ribs of the checkers are made at such an angle that acoustic vibrations are suppressed during wheel operation. The tire, despite its size and deep drainage, is characterized by low noise, easy handling and excellent grip.

As for the characteristics of the cross-country ability, the reviews of the owners note the good ability of rubber to self-clean, high resistance to shock loads. At the same time, one should not forget that tires are simply not designed for impenetrable mud, and one should not expect miracles from it. The special composition of the rubber mixture provides an increased operational resource. With careful attitude to tires Bridgestone Dueler A / T 001 (timely rearrangement of tires in places, control of the level of pressure in the cylinders and proper storage), it will last much longer than competing analogues. This ability fully justifies every ruble invested in it. Many owners change the expired Dueler A / T 001 for the same new ones, which clearly characterizes the model only from the best side.

Winter tires are widely represented by the Bridgestone Blizak line. Among the many models, Blizzak Revo GZ Velcro should be singled out, which won the hearts of many domestic motorists. Among experts, this friction rubber has repeatedly been recognized as the best, thanks to its versatility. Tires withstand the test of slush, ice and packed snow equally well. The tire tread was modeled on a computer, thanks to which the load was transferred to certain points of the tread. The asymmetric pattern performed well both during acceleration and braking. Wide grooves successfully cope with the removal of water and wet snow. The manufacturer managed to achieve the necessary softness due to the Multicell Compound technology, which provides for the presence of many micropores.

Among a large number of reviews, the prevailing opinion is that tires are perfect for Russian roads. Rubber makes the car obedient in all situations. Motorists call the disadvantages of the line fast wear.

For lovers of careful driving, these Bridgestone winter tires are perhaps the best choice. In any case, in the reviews of owners who have been using these tires for more than one year, there is not even a hint of disappointment. Rather, on the contrary, there is excellent stability on ice, and deep snow for this rubber does not present any obstacles at all. The studs are securely seated and it is not uncommon that even after the second season of operation, there is no loss of studs.

Turns on the winter road without skidding, confident "taxiing" and excellent directional stability - rubber copes with its tasks better than others. Owners would love to have that kind of confidence on the highway forever, and the Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 7000 tires are more than they've come to expect. Everything, of course, depends on the driving style and mileage, but for a careful owner, these tires do an excellent job for 5-6 seasons in a row, which indicates a high margin of safety and reliability.

A cursory glance at the Bridgestone RD713 tread is enough to put aside questions about noise levels as irrelevant - rubber emits significant sound vibrations, but also “rows” not like a child, providing a passenger car or crossover with better flotation in the harshest off-road conditions. There are also successful examples of using these tires on small commercial vehicles - the tires have excellent load capacity. In this model of winter Bridgestone, due to the macroblocks at the edges of the tread, high steering precision was achieved. The presence of spikes makes it more stable on ice.

In the reviews, the owners point to the fact that the width of the working part of the tread is quite narrow. This provides excellent cross-country ability on snow, but it also has a side effect - when driving along a rut, the car continually strives to jump out of it, and the driver has to constantly taxi up. Polymer additives and silicon, which are part of rubber, ensure slow tire wear. At the same time, one should not forget that the intense nature of the ride and bare asphalt completely neutralize this advantage - there were cases when the owners "lost" up to half of the tread in just one season.

Bridgestone Blizzak Spike-02 SUV studded tires occupy a leading position in the global car market. The manufacturer used innovative technologies in the form of a directional spike, an improved rubber composition and a V-shaped tread with an increased number of sipes. Engineers increased the density of the central edges, changed the angle of the side edges. As a result, the removal of the snow-water mixture has improved, and the adhesion index has increased. Tires are highly durable and durable. Studded tires are available in a wide range of sizes (30 models), it can be used as "winter shoes" for cars of different types.

Domestic motorists in the reviews highlight the excellent stability of the car on a winter road. Tires confidently work out on ice and on slush. The spikes sit securely in the tire without flying out when driving on asphalt. The main disadvantage for many car owners is the high price.
