Bridgestone Turanza T001 FEATURES AND BENEFITS Improved controllability Fuel-efficient traction Longer service life Summer performance Comfortable driving experience OVERVIEW The Bridgestone Turanza T001 (AO) is a performance and high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. This specific tire is marked with AO as it is the original equipment of Audi vehicles. The controllability and maneuvering are improved with the better road contact. The tire manages to maintain road contact at all times, which improves its exceptional steering responsiveness and driving stability. It promotes quick and precise steering responses, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. Maneuvering is also optimized with the ideal tread elements. Cornering and braking are enhanced with the ideal tread elements, which further improve the driver’s control over the vehicle. Summer weather traction is ensured with this model. The tire combines its summer compound and ideal tread design in order to offer excellent dry and wet-weather performance. The model’s special heat-resistant compound enables its exceptional dry-weather traction, by combating heat accumulation. Ribbed elements increase the tire’s traction in dry and wet conditions with better road contact. Hydroplaning is avoided since circumferential grooves disperse water from below the footprint. This tire offers a longer-lasting tread life. The ideal tread pattern and the rubber compound resist irregular and premature wear formations along the tread area. This tread ensures even pressure circulation, in order to prevent irregular wear formations, while the rubber compound slows the treadwear rate down. The decreased and even wear leads to the tire’s longer-lasting tread life. Fuel efficiency is ensured with this model. The tire ensures this by lowering its rolling resistance with better traction. This is the pressure determining the vehicle’s needed fuel intake in order to keep the tires in motion. The tire helps to decrease fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, guaranteeing better fuel economy throughout the drive. The Bridgestone Turanza T001 (AO) ensures high driving comfort levels. The ideal tread design and its close contact with the driving surface lower road and tread noise levels heard in the vehicle’s cabin. As road disturbances cannot ruin the passengers’ driving enjoyment, the tire guarantees a quiet performance. 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.
